Jahmyr Gibbs' Hamstring Injury Discussed by Lions HC Campbell: 'Think We'll Be Good'

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell isn't concerned about Jahmyr Gibbs' hamstring injury.

Appearing on 97.1 The Ticket on Wednesday (h/t ESPN's Eric Woodyard), Campbell said "I think we'll be good" when asked about Gibbs' status.

Gibbs left Monday's practice session early with an apparent leg injury, but it was unclear when it occurred.

ESPN's Adam Schefter later reported it was a hamstring issue that caused Gibbs to leave practice.

Gibbs dealt with a hamstring injury during his rookie season in 2023. He was a late addition to the Lions' injury report going into Week 5 and wound up missing two games before returning on Oct. 27 against the Baltimore Ravens.

After returning from the injury, Gibbs took off to become one of the most important players for Detroit's offense. The 22-year-old averaged 16.5 touches, 92 yards from scrimmage and scored 11 touchdowns over the final 11 regular-season games.

Gibbs was able to carry that performance into the playoffs. He recorded 144 rushing yards, 94 receiving yards and scored three touchdowns in three games to help the Lions reach the NFC Championship Game for the first time since the 1991 season.

The Lions still have David Montgomery to be their primary running back if Gibbs' injury lingers into the start of the regular season. Montgomery led the team with 1,015 rushing yards and scored a career-high 13 touchdowns last season.

Zonovan Knight, Craig Reynolds and Jermar Jefferson could see increased roles if Gibbs sits out the final two preseason games. Detroit's next preseason contest is against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday at 4 p.m. ET.

As long as Gibbs is ready for the start of the regular season, the Lions will be fine if he has to miss time. The Lions will begin defense of their NFC North title against the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 8.
