Lions expect RB Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) to return vs. Ravens

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is expected to return to the lineup Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, according to coach Dan Campbell, after a hamstring injury sidelined him over the last two weeks.

“He looks good. Yeah, I think he’ll give it a shot,” Campbell said Friday. “He looked pretty good yesterday.”

Gibbs, the No. 12 pick in the 2023 draft, had missed the last two weeks of practice before returning to action on a limited basis this week.

Detroit’s running back team has taken a big hit, with leader David Montgomery likely out “a little bit” with a rib cartilage injury, according to Campbell. The Lions improved to 5-1 with a 20-6 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6, but were held to a season-low 40 rushing yards.

Campbell expects Gibbs to immediately take on the heavy workload in Baltimore.

“Certainly, I think he’s going to have to take the brunt of it. We’re just going to have to see where he’s at,” Campbell said. “I would like to say we want to be careful with him, but the reality is we need him. So we’ll go as far as he can take us here, trying to be as smart as possible, but he’s I gotta go. And he’s ready.

Through four games, Gibbs has 39 carries for 179 yards, which is the second most on the team. Gibbs also has 14 receptions for 70 yards.
