Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs expressed confusion over his injury report status ahead of their Week 8 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. On Wednesday, Gibbs was listed as DNP (Did Not Participate) for the game, though the 24-year-old was quick to clarify that he only suffered a minor shoulder injury in last week's game against the Green Bay Packers.
Gibbs claimed he was "good" and participated fully in Thursday's practice, dispelling concerns about him missing the upcoming home game. The Lions running back has been on a streak, rushing for 151 yards and two touchdowns against Arizona in Week 5 and 116 yards on 29 carries against Green Bay in Week 6. The Vikings boast a strong defense against the run, allowing just 97.8 yards per game, but Gibbs remains a key player for Detroit’s offense, currently on pace for his third consecutive 1,000-yard season with 620 rushing yards and seven touchdowns so far this year.
