Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs (undisclosed) is dealing with an unspecified soft-tissue injury, head coach Dan Campbell revealed on Wednesday, June 5.

Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs was a very good receiver as a rookie last season (52 catches on 71 targets), but the hope for running backs coach Scottie Montgomery is that Gibbs can go from a "really efficient check-down option" to a player who can "go into the slot and a little bit more down the field." "Now what we need him to do from a passing game standpoint is go to the next level. I do think there's a certain difference between being a really efficient check-down versus a great route-runner, a guy that can run all types of choice (routes). We know we've seen him do those things. But now can you go into the slot and a little bit more down the field, some intermediate stuff. Can we continue to grow him there, and that's what we're trying to do," Montgomery said.

Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs should expect to "see more of a load" in 2024, according to general manager Brad Holmes on a recent appearance of The Rich Eisen Show. "I definitely would expect him to see more of a load, but David Montgomery will still be here too. Dan (Campbell) and I love that 1-2 punch of him and David. But just speaking on, specifically, him being a rookie last year, even when he had some pops in (last year's season opener), I was watching, I was like, 'He's still trying to get the feel of the game.' He was playing very fast, and he actually kind of needed to slow down a little bit . . . But once he got that sweet spot, you kind of saw it in the (Baltimore) Ravens game, which unfortunately we didn't show up very well for that game, but that's when you started seeing some glimpses of, 'I think it's coming, I think it's coming,' Then, obviously, that (Las Vegas) Raiders game where I believe everyone saw the breakout. . . . I think he has much more to offer in the passing game, so most likely you'll see an increase in that as well," Holmes said.
