Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is 'trending the right way' to play in the Lions' season opener against the Rams on Sept. 8, coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday.
Eric Woodyard covers the Detroit Lions for ESPN. He joined ESPN in September 2019 as an NBA reporter dedicated to the Midwest region before switching to his current role in April 2021. The Flint, Mich. native is a graduate of Western Michigan University and has authored/co-authored three books:"Wasted, Ethan's Talent Search" and"All In: The Kelvin Torbert Story". He is a proud parent of one son, Ethan.
Gibbs, 22, exited the Aug. 12 night practice early to be evaluated for a leg injury, although it was unclear what happened on the play. As a rookie in 2023, he played a pivotal role in the offense while rushing for 945 yards and 10 touchdowns to go along with 316 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown.
"Our plan is to get him going next week," Campbell said of Gibbs."He's trending the right way, and we're hoping the day after the Pittsburgh game, I think we're going to get a lot of guys back, hopefully Sunday, and hopefully they'll get in next week's practice before Rams and then we'll do Rams practice."
