Shoulder behind him; full Thursday and Friday, no designation
Latest
Jahmyr Gibbs’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He started all 17 games in 2025 and carried no injury designation through Week 7 of 2026; a shoulder issue that kept him out of an Oct. 29 practice did not turn into an official game-week designation.
After David Montgomery was traded to Houston in the offseason, Gibbs played 74% of the snaps in Week 1 and 83% at Buffalo in Week 2, per Lineups.com. The Lions made him the NFL’s highest-paid running back with a three-year, $67.5 million extension in August.
Fantasy Action: Gibbs is a locked-in RB1 and a top-three option at the position, with a workhorse role and receiving work that lift his ceiling.
