Army changes its mind, Campbell can't play in NFL


(NECN/ABC) - Caleb Campbell will not get a chance to play for the Detroit Lions because of a change in military policy.

Campbell was a seventh-round draft pick for the Lions in April.

At the time, Army policy would have allowed the West Point graduate to serve as a recruiter if he made the team.

Now the Army is saying that Campbell must serve in active duty until 2010, when he would be eligible to ask for leave to play football.

Any extensive time away from the game would hurt Campbell's chances of playing in the NFL.
