Gibbs rushed 11 times for 40 yards and a touchdown while catching four of six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams. Gibbs was outproduced on the ground by David Montgomery (17 carries for 91 yards and a touchdown), but the second-year running back got a couple goal-line carries late in the first half and made the most of the opportunity, punching in a one-yard touchdown at the two-minute warning. It was Gibbs' 11th rushing touchdown in 16 career regular-season games. Gibbs also tied for second on the team in targets, so he was involved both on the ground and through the air as usual. With no sign of the hamstring injury that sidelined him in August, Gibbs should maintain a prominent role in Week 2 against the Buccaneers.

Gibbs rushed 11 times for 40 yards and a touchdown while catching four of six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams.

Gibbs (hamstring) wasn't listed on the Lions' injury report Wednesday. Although the Lions didn't hold a session Wednesday, Gibbs wouldn't have been inhibited in his on-field work if the team had done so. As a result, he's good to go for Sunday night's contest against the Rams after sustaining a hamstring issue in an Aug. 12 practice. Gibbs again will split Detroit's backfield with David Montgomery in 2024, which amounted to 1,261 yards from scrimmage and 11 total TDs on 232 touches in 15 regular-season games last year.
Gibbs (hamstring) said Tuesday he feels 98 to 100 percent healthy and said he's "good" for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Rams, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports. Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Gibbs isn't a player whose status concerns him for Week 1, so it sounds like the star running back is fully expected to be available Sunday. In the event that Gibbs feels anything less than 100 percent healthy by the end of the practice week, though, there will be a possibility that the Lions lean a bit more heavily on David Montgomery versus Los Angeles. Gibbs said he feels "more confident overall" heading into Year 2, and even at less than full health he offers high upside as one of the most explosive backfield weapons in the league.
Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Gibbs (hamstring) is not a player whose injury status is a concern for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Rams, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports. Campbell named Ifeatu Melifonwu (undisclosed) as the only player the Lions are significantly concerned about for Week 1, meaning both Gibbs and standout TE Sam LaPorta (hamstring) should be good for the season opener. Both Gibbs and LaPorta resumed practicing last week after missing much of training camp due to hamstring injuries. While it doesn't sound like Gibbs is in any real danger of missing Week 1, it's still possible that Detroit could opt to lean on backfield mate David Montgomery a bit more until the hamstring issue is further in the rearview.
Gibbs (hamstring) returned to practice Sunday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports. Gibbs made it back on the day Dan Campbell had predicted, but the coach didn't provide any details about the extent of his running back's participation. Gibbs missed two weeks of practice with a hamstring strain and now has two weeks to get ready for Detroit's season opener against the Rams on Sept. 8.
Lions coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday that Gibbs (hamstring) is "trending the right way" and may resume practicing as soon as Sunday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports. Campbell mentioned Sunday, the day after Detroit's preseason finale against Pittsburgh, as the possible return date for a bunch of his injured players. It presumably won't be a strenuous practice just one day after an exhibition, but Gibbs' fantasy managers would nonetheless be thrilled to see him back on the field in any capacity. The young RB left practice early last Monday with a hamstring injury and has now been out for more than a week.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell suggested Wednesday that he's optimistic about Gibbs' health after the running back suffered a hamstring injury in Monday's practice, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports. "I think we're gonna be fine here," Campbell told 97-1 The Ticket Detroit. "So, I think we'll be good." Campbell didn't get into details or provide a timeline for Gibbs, merely hinting at general optimism. Gibbs suffered the injury 27 days before Detroit's season opener Sept. 8 at the Rams, and while he's unlikely to practice for at least the next week or two, he seemingly has a chance to be ready for the rematch of last year's wild-card playoff game.
Gibbs left Monday's practice early due to a hamstring injury, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports. Hamstring injuries can be tricky to gauge, so it remains to be seen how serious the issue is for Gibbs. When healthy, he is expected to play a predominant role in Detroit's offense. Expect the Lions to err on the side of caution with their prized backfield asset in order to ensure his long-term health.
Gibb's left Monday's practice early to be evaluated for a leg injury, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports. There is no word on the severity of Gibbs' injury or if the Lions are just erring on the side of caution with the 2023 first-round pick. When healthy, the electric back is expected to share the backfield with David Montgomery. Gibbs also figures to be available all over the formation in passing situations. It remains to be seen if he will miss any more practice time going forward.
