ESPN’s Michael DiRocco tweeted a picture of Campo on Friday, joking that he was "alive and well" after getting hit in the shoulder.

The Jaguars later announced the team had waived Mevis and signed Elliott Fry, who has appeared in three NFL games for the Atlanta Falcons, Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Bears.
