"I'm glad the NFL did something and hopefully he won't do it no more," Campbell said. "… I'm going to move past it. It's over and done with. I'm just going to try and help my team win this game coming up against the Redskins and just do what I can on the sidelines, and motivating in a leadership role, and rehab so I can get healthy and come back and make a run for it."

"Never before have I been blocked like that. I don't think it was a great football play but it's over and done with, and I'd like to move past it."
