In the upcoming season, the Detroit Lions have high hopes for running back Jahmyr Gibbs. However, due to a soft tissue injury, the team has temporarily halted his preparation for the fall. Lions head coach Dan Campbell announced at a press conference that Gibbs is currently not practicing with the team. Despite the setback with his injury, the team is committed to helping Gibbs reach the next level once he has fully recovered.
Running backs coach Scottie Montgomery has expressed his desire for Gibbs to elevate his performance in the passing game in his second season. Given the time of year, Montgomery believes that Gibbs will not miss out on much by taking a break from practice. The process of improving his skills in the passing game will resume once Gibbs is cleared to return to practice.
The Lions remain optimistic about Gibbs’ potential and are dedicated to ensuring that he is fully healthy and prepared to make a significant impact when he returns to the field. While Gibbs may be temporarily sidelined due to his injury, he has shown great promise in previous seasons, and Montgomery believes that with proper training and dedication, he can become one of the best running backs in the league.
