Jahmyr Gibbs fine after late-game injury scare, will pass up TD again
Jahmyr Gibbs said he avoided injury after he twisted to the ground awkwardly trying to stay out of the end zone at the end of Lions win vs Packers.
Jahmyr Gibbs participated in a 20-17 victory by the Detroit Lions over the Green Bay Packers at Ford Field on Sunday, October 25. Despite risking an injury, Gibbs stopped short of the goal line twice to set up the game-winning field goal. Following the game, Lions coach Dan Campbell questioned the wisdom of Gibbs' last attempt to reach the end zone, saying it might have been better to have scored the touchdown.
Gibbs had 29 carries for 116 yards and ran the ball seven times during the Lions' game-winning 10-play possession. After a false start penalty, Gibbs ran for 8 yards and then corkscrewed to a stop at the 3-yard line. He reported twisting his ankle on the play but was fine after the game. Campbell stated that Gibbs was checked for precautionary reasons and was expected to be okay.
Gibbs indicated that he would continue to attempt to score in similar situations in the future, despite his injury scare.
