Lions hoping Jahmyr Gibbs can stay as productive despite losing backfield partner
The Detroit Lions face a significant challenge in their upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills, as star running back Jahmyr Gibbs is expected to play despite carrying a heavy workload. Gibbs averaged an impressive 18.8 touches per game last season, but that number jumped to 34 during a recent overtime win over the New Orleans Saints.
Lions coach Dan Campbell believes Gibbs will be fully recovered for Thursday's game and ready to contribute at a high level. However, the Lions' offensive line, which includes rookie Blake Miller and Juice Scruggs, may miss some key players due to injuries, potentially impacting their performance in the short week before the Bills' home opener.
