Campbell was a one-man wrecking crew Sunday against the Rams, racking up 11 tackles (10 solo), three tackles for loss, two quarterback hits, and 0.5 sacks.
Campbell was everywhere in Week 4, but the Cardinals' defense itself was unable to force a turnover, after accumulating seven (all interceptions) over the course of the first three weeks of the season. Stuck in the 50-to-75 tackle territory in each of the past five campaigns, he currently has 25 to his credit, which is a career-best pace. On the other side of the coin, the half sack Sunday was his first in the category in 2015, so he has some work to do to uphold his standard (6-to-9 sacks in six consecutive seasons).

Campbell took in 56 of the Cardinals' 72 defensive snaps Sunday at Chicago, Mike Jurecki of FOX Sports 910 Phoenix reports.
Campbell has totaled six tackles in both Week 1 and 2, but he's augmented his line with one tackle for loss and one pass defended. He has yet to nab a sack, though, which will surely come to pass as he's accrued at least six in each of the past six seasons.

Campbell notched six tackles (five solo) and one tackle for loss in Sunday's victory versus the Saints.
Campbell doesn't receive the attention of teammate Patrick Peterson, or Tyrann Mathieu for that matter, but the defensive end contributes to a stingy run defense, while providing one of the few pass-rushing threats on the Cardinals' defense. Heading a defensive front that substitutes with aplomb, Campbell still garnered 69 percent (51 of 74) of the unit's snaps in Week 1, according to Mike Jurecki of FOX Sports 910 Phoenix, yet he finished fifth on the team in tackles behind Peterson, Mathieu, Deone Bucannon, and Kevin Minter. Campbell's first sack of the season could occur sooner rather than later this Sunday against a Bears offensive line that surrendered 41 in 2014.
Tue Feb 10 201516:00Calais Campbell: Had Successful Sports Hernia Surgery
Campbell underwent successful sports hernia surgery during the first week of February, the Cardinals' official site reports.
Campbell played through the injury from at least Week 13 through the Cardinals' wild-card playoff loss in Carolina. Additionally, he sat out Weeks 6 and 7 due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, but the ailments didn't stop the pass rusher from racking up 58 tackles (48 solo), seven sacks, nine tackles for loss, one forced fumble, and one interception in 14 games last season. Upon returning to the Cardinals' facility Tuesday, he relayed that he expects to be healthy in time for the commencement of offseason workouts in the latter half of April.
Mon Jan 26 201510:24Calais Campbell: Will Have Sports Hernia Surgery
Campbell will undergo surgery next week to repair a sports hernia that he played through after Week 13, USA Today's Tom Pelissero reports.
Campbell has played 13 or more games in each of his seven NFL seasons, but he seemingly deals with an injury or two every year. In 2014, it was the sports hernia and a sprained MCL, with the latter causing him to miss Weeks 6 and 7. Campbell still had another fantastic year, piling up 58 tackles (48 solo), seven sacks, an interception, a forced fumble and three passes defensed. He should be healthy by the start of training camp next season, and while the Cardinals have a rather unfavorable cap situation, Campbell doesn't figure to be one of the casualties.

Campbell supplied 58 tackles (48 solo), seven sacks, nine tackles for loss, three passes defended, one interception, and one forced fumble across 14 contests in 2014.
After spraining the MCL in his right knee in Week 5, Campbell was resigned to a 3-to-4 week absence. However, he bucked expectations, missing just two games without the benefit of a bye week. He proceeded to tally six sacks in a five-game span from Weeks 10 through 14, but outside of that stretch, his IDP contributions were few and far between. No matter, the 28-year-old recorded at least six sacks for the sixth campaign in a row, meaning the pass rusher should regain premier status with running mate Darnell Dockett (knee) back in the picture next season.

Campbell (hip) is listed as active Sunday in San Francisco, the Cardinals' official site reports.
After putting up zeroes in the box score last Sunday against the Seahawks, Campbell should bounce back against a 49ers offensive line that has given up 51 sacks of Colin Kaepernick this season.

Campbell (hip) is probable for Sunday's game against San Francisco.
The Cardinals don't have much going for them Sunday, but Campbell's presence is a big plus. He's a DL1 whenever he's active.
Thu Dec 25 201420:09Campbell (hip) limited in practice Thursday
Campbell (hip) was limited in practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
On Sunday against the Seahawks, Campbell was uncharacteristically blanked in the box score, despite taking the field for 59 of 68 defensive snaps, according to Mike Jurecki of FOX Sports 910 Phoenix. Campbell will aim to turn it around Sunday against a 49ers offensive line that has allowed a league-high 51 sacks of Colin Kaepernick this season.
Sun Dec 21 201419:15Campbell (hip) listed as active Sunday against Seahawks
Campbell (hip) is listed as active Sunday against the Seahawks, the Cardinals' official site reports.
After fitting in time in each practice this week, Campbell will take on a Seattle front that he's handled well repeatedly in his career, including 26 tackles (19 solo) and five sacks in the past four matchups.
Fri Dec 19 201417:32Campbell (hip) probable for Sunday's game against Seattle
Campbell (hip) is probable for Sunday's game against Seattle.
Campbell practiced all week, so the hip isn't a concern. Campbell is a beast and typically plays well against Seattle, so his IDP owners should keep rolling with him.
Thu Dec 18 201420:03Campbell (hip) limited in practice Thursday
Campbell (hip) was limited in practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Campbell has fit in two capped practices to start the week, but his status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks isn't really in question. While he may not tally three sacks, as he did in the Cardinals' Week 12 showdown in Seattle, he has produced six sacks among 31 tackles (24 solo) over the past six contests.

Campbell produced six tackles (five solo), one sack, one tackle for loss, and one pass defended during Sunday's victory versus the Chiefs.
With 26 tackles (20 solo) and six sacks over the last five games, there's little doubt that Campbell is upholding the standard set throughout his career, which includes at least six sacks in six consecutive seasons. As the season draws to a close, he'll aim to take down NFC West signal callers in each of the Cardinals' three remaining tilts.

Campbell played 50 of the Cardinals' 58 defensive snaps during Sunday's defeat at Seattle, FOX Sports 910 Phoenix reports.
While Arizona's offense bumbled along in Week 12, the defense did everything in its power to keep Seattle out of the end zone, and Campbell was the driving force. On the day, he led a relentless pursuit of Russell Wilson, accruing six tackles (four solo), three sacks, and three quarterback hits. After the performance, Campbell has tallied five sacks in the past three games, which supports the notion that he's in tip-top shape following a two-game absence earlier this season due to an MCL sprain, according to the team's official site.

Campbell was a monster in Sunday's victory against the Rams, totaling six tackles (five solo), four tackles for loss, and two sacks.
Campbell's played 72.6 percent (45 of 62) of the Cardinals' defensive snaps, according to FOX Sports 910 Phoenix, which fell between his usage (67.4 and 89 percent) from the two games following his Week 8 return from a sprained MCL. Defensive coordinator Todd Bowles may have found a happy medium with Arizona's premier pass rusher, and if that's the case, Campbell is poised to bolster the pursuits of IDP owners as the fantasy playoffs approach.

Campbell took the field for 57 of the Cardinals' 64 defensive snaps during Sunday's victory in Dallas, FOX Sports 910 Phoenix reports.
Campbell's usage increased significantly from his Week 8 return -- 67.4 to 89 percent of the snaps -- and his production responded in kind, with four tackles (two solo) and one tackle for loss added to his ledger. In the process, he teamed with nose tackle Dan Williams to whip the Cowboys' offensive line continually, spurring DeMarco Murray's worst performance (79 yards rushing) of the season. As the health of his knee improves, Campbell is a decent bet to accrue at least six sacks for a sixth consecutive year, despite only one in his game log to date.
Sun Nov 2 201411:54Campbell (knee) active for Sunday's game at Dallas
Campbell (knee) is active for Sunday's game at Dallas, the Cardinals' official site reports.
With a knee brace in tow, Campbell's impact on IDP pursuits could once again be underwhelming, after tallying two tackles (one solo) in his return last Sunday from a sprained MCL. Luckily, he has an easier target (Brandon Weeden) to focus on with Tony Romo (back) inactive.

Campbell (knee) took the field for 62 of the Cardinals' 92 defensive snaps in Sunday's win against the Eagles, Mike Jurecki of FOX Sports 910 reports. Afterward, Campbell told the Cardinals' official site, "I could definitely tell a difference [wearing the brace] but I was able to be functional and explosive and leave it all on the field. It held up pretty good. After the game I was exhausted."
Although Campbell mustered just two tackles (one solo) and no other counting stats, he equaled fellow lineman Tommy Kelly for most snaps along the defensive front. Campbell was understandably constrained by the brace on his right knee, but his recovery from an MCL sprain may require its services for the foreseeable future. If so, owners should temper expectations until his playmaking ability is reestablished.
Sun Oct 26 201414:57Calais Campbell: (Knee) Active Sunday
Campbell (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Eagles, the Cardinals' official site reports.
Campbell will be accompanied by a brace on his right leg, but the Cardinals' defensive front include his services for the first time since Week 5 in Denver. Meanwhile, IDP owners shouldn't expect his typical number of reps, and his second sack of the season may be difficult to come by against an offensive line that has given up just seven sacks in six games.

Campbell (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.
Campbell logged two limited practices to close out the week, giving hope that he might return from his MCL injury in what could be a profitable matchup with a run-heavy, fast-paced Philadelphia offense. Still, even if he's active Sunday, Campbell probably won't see a full workload in his initial return.
