Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is determined to stay with the franchise for the long haul. However, he remains focused on maximizing his market value as a top-tier NFL player. Entering his final season of a rookie contract, Gibbs is seeking improved terms for his next deal. The 24-year-old has been absent from the team's training camp as the 2026 season approaches.
During a recent media interview, Gibbs stated that he would not provide further details on his situation, only remarking, "only time will tell" when he returns. As for his aspirations, Gibbs replied, "I don't know." The Lions aim to bolster their offense and return to the playoffs after missing the postseason last year. With Gibbs leading the team's rushing attack, the Lions are looking to improve upon their 9-8 record from the previous season.
Their season opener is scheduled for September 13 against the New Orleans Saints, with kickoff at 1 p.m. ET.
