Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs Makes First Practice Appearance
Detroit Lions superstar running back Jahmyr Gibbs made his first appearance at training camp practice on Thursday.
Detroit Lions' star running back Jahmyr Gibbs took part in his initial practice session on Thursday. The 24-year-old, regarded as one of the NFL's premier running backs, is in the midst of contract talks with the Lions organization. Gibbs, who signed with the team last week, made his debut at practice but declined to converse with reporters following the session.
Adam Schefter, an ESPN NFL insider, hinted during an interview on "The Pat McAfee Show" that a resolution to Gibbs' contract could be reached within the next 24 hours. As a No. 11 selection in the 2023 draft, Gibbs has been a Pro Bowl pick for three consecutive seasons. In 2025, he amassed 243 carries for 1,223 yards and 13 touchdowns, along with 77 catches for 616 yards and an additional five touchdowns, ranking fifth in total yards from scrimmage that season, behind only Bijan Robinson, Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, and James Cook.
The Lions are set to kick off their 2026 campaign with a Week 1 showdown against the New Orleans Saints on September 13.
