Good to go Gibson (shin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Las Vegas, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Gibson's practice reps remain limited due to a stress fracture, but he hasn't missed a game all year and has three in a row with 19-plus carries since a Week 9 bye. He now has a chance to add some extra snaps (and targets), with J.D. McKissic (concussion) out for at least one game and possibly more. The other options to fill McKissic's snaps are rookie Jaret Patterson and practice-squad player Wendell Smallwood.

Limited again in practice Gibson (shin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Limited reps in practice have been the norm for Gibson for most of the season while he manages a stress fracture of his shin, but his availability for Sunday's game against the Raiders doesn't appear to be in any peril. Since Washington's Week 9 bye, Gibson is averaging 24 carries and three targets per contest, suggesting the Football Team is comfortable with his health at this stage. Gibson could be primed for even more work in the passing game this weekend, as pass-catching specialist J.D. McKissic (concussion) didn't practice Thursday for the second straight day and looks to be trending toward an inactive status.

Limited in practice, per usual Gibson (shin) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Gibson continues to log limited practices while playing through a stress fracture, and he's now taken 19 or more carries in three straight games, including a 36-touch effort with 146 total yards in Mondays 17-15 win over Seattle. Matching that volume is a tall task, but Gibson could take on another larger-than-usual snap share Sunday in Las Vegas, as passing-down back J.D. McKissic missed Wednesday's practice after suffering a head/neck injury Monday night.

Along with leading his team in receptions, Gibson garnered a career high in carries, helping Washington dominate possession. With a season best in scrimmage yards to boot, it was a strong showing from the tailback, who will now turn his attention toward Week 13's matchup versus the Raiders.
