JAHMYR GIBBS NEWS

Overshadowed by Montgomery Gibbs rushed the ball 12 times for 63 yards in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys. He added three receptions on five targets for 28 yards.

Impact Gibbs worked evenly with David Montgomery on the ground and was much better as a pass catcher, though Montgomery's fantasy performance was superior thanks to a pair of scores. Even so, Gibbs turned in a fine performance that was highlighted by a 20-yard reception and five rush attempts that went for at least five yards. He now has a minium of 78 total yards from scrimmage in all five games this season, though he has ceded a lot of work at the goal line to Montgomery.

Two rushing TDs in win Gibbs rushed 14 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns and wasn't targeted in the Lions' 42-29 win over the Seahawks on Monday night.

Impact Although the lack of work in the passing game was certainly less than ideal, Gibbs' fantasy managers had to be elated with seeing the talented back get two opportunities from inside the five-yard line that culminated in touchdowns, considering how often he's frequently passed over for David Montgomery in such scenarios. Gibbs went in from three and one yards out in the second quarter, his first trips to the end zone on the ground since Week 1. Gibbs has yet to crack the 100-yard threshold this season, but he's now on an impressive three-game run of efficient work on the ground that's seen him amass 245 rushing yards on 43 carries. Gibbs now gets a chance for some early-season rest via a Week 5 bye before returning to action on the road Sunday, Oct. 13 against a short-handed Cowboys defense that's struggled to stop the run.

Tops 100 scrimmage yards with TD Gibbs rushed 16 times for 83 yards and added a 20-yard receiving touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Gibbs motored into the end zone from 20 yards out after taking a lateral from Amon-Ra St. Brown to give Detroit a 20-7 lead late in the first half. That yardage counted toward Gibbs' receiving total, but he wasn't credited with a target or catch on the play and didn't see a target for the rest of the game, leading to an unconventional stat line with a receiving touchdown but no targets. Gibbs has surpassed 100 scrimmage yards in consecutive games heading into a Week 4 MNF home game against the Seahawks.

Gets 20 touches in Week 2 loss Gibbs rushed 13 times for 84 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Gibbs kept Detroit's hopes alive with a 23-yard run to convert on 4th-and-1 with 1:23 remaining, but he was tackled short of the line to gain on a fourth-down catch 30 seconds later. Gibbs out-gained David Montgomery by 49 yards on the ground and also got seven of the 12 targets among Lions running backs (four for Montgomery, one for Sione Vaki), but Montgomery got the opportunity to punch in a one-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter and capitalized on it. Despite being Detroit's 1B option by the goal line, Gibbs should remain heavily involved Week 3 against the Cardinals thanks to his versatility and explosiveness.

Scores TD in Week 1 win 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.

Impact 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.

Sidesteps injury report Gibbs (hamstring) wasn't listed on the Lions' injury report Wednesday.

Impact 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.

Feels nearly 100 percent 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.

Impact 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.

No concerns for Week 1 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 Detr...

Impact 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.
