Detroit Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs Set to Return from Hamstring Injury, Expected to Carry Heavy Workload against Ravens
As Lions face injury problems in the backfield, rookie Jahmyr Gibbs will shoulder a significant part of the team's running game against the Ravens despite recent recovery from a hamstring injury.
- Jahmyr Gibbs is preparing to return to the field following his recent hamstring injury and is expected to carry a significant part of the Lions' running game against the Ravens.
- Despite the potential risks linked to a heavy workload after recovering from an injury, the Lions are facing additional injury issues in the backfield that necessitate relying on Gibbs.
- The Lions have depleted running back options with David Montgomery likely out due to a rib cartilage injury and backup Craig Reynolds dealing with hamstring and toe injuries.
- Selected with the No. 12 pick in the 2023 draft, Gibbs' rookie season has been slow to start, with 249 yards from scrimmage and no touchdowns so far.
- Despite Gibbs' slow start, the Lions have succeeded without significant contributions from their top draft pick, ranking in the top 10 for both points scored and conceded this season.
