Lions Running Back Jahmyr Gibbs Reports to Training Camp but Doesn't Attend Team's First Practice
The Lions are negotiating with Gibbs while the running back has 2,635 rushing yards and 29 rushing touchdowns over the last two seasons.
- Pro Bowl running back Jahmyr Gibbs missed the first day of Detroit Lions training camp on Wednesday in a 'hold-in' while seeking a new contract.
- Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell confirmed contract negotiations remain ongoing, though the franchise holds a fifth-year option on the player's rookie deal through 2027.
- Gibbs accumulated 4,500-plus scrimmage yards and 45-plus touchdowns through three seasons, joining Hall of Famers Barry Sanders and Eric Dickerson as the team's primary 'bell cow'.
- With Gibbs absent, new backup Isiah Pacheco and third-year back Sione Vaki took first-team reps, with Pacheco signed this offseason to provide a power option.
- The preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals on August 13 serves as the first practical checkpoint, though the Lions face no immediate contractual deadline.
