Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs Injures Hamstring in Practice

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Detroit Lions faced a setback during practice on Monday night as running back Jahmyr Gibbs sustained a hamstring injury. According to a source, Gibbs left the session early and is currently undergoing evaluation for the leg injury, although the specific play that caused the injury remains unclear. Gibbs, 22, is coming off an impressive rookie season, having rushed for 945 yards and 10 touchdowns, alongside 316 receiving yards and a touchdown. His performance earned him a spot in the Pro Bowl and recognition as a finalist for the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. His contributions were pivotal in leading the Lions to the NFC Championship Game. Earlier this month, Gibbs expressed his ambition to join an elite group of players who have achieved both 1,000 rushing and 1,000 receiving yards in a single season. He aims to become only the fourth player in NFL history to reach this milestone, following in the footsteps of notable athletes like Christian McCaffrey, Marshall Faulk, and Roger Craig. As the Lions prepare for the upcoming season, the team will closely monitor Gibbs' recovery, hoping to have him back on the field soon. His potential to make history adds to the excitement surrounding the Lions' prospects this year, but his injury raises concerns about the team's depth at the running back position.
