Detroit Lions Dan Campbell gives injury updates on Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta, Terrion Arnold.
has been sidelined with a hamstring injury for the last week. Though the injury was cause for concern initially, coach Dan Campbell said the second-year back is nearing a return.
Gibbs, along with several other key players on the roster, could be back as soon as Sunday after the team's Saturday preseason finale against Pittsburgh. Tight end, offensive linemen Dan Skipper and Kevin Zeitler, linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez and defensive tackle DJ Reader are among others who could get going next week.
“We’re gonna get, Gibbs, our plan is to get him going next week," Campbell said Tuesday. "He’s trending the right way. We’re hoping day after the Pittsburgh game, I think we’re gonna get a lot of guys back. Skipper’s gonna be down with this ankle this week, but he’s been going all through camp but we’re shooting for Skip. We’re shooting for Zeitler, LaPorta, Gibbs, Rodrigo and I think we may start Reader up too, just start working him in individual.
"So we’re about to get a whole group of guys back, hopefully Sunday. And then they’ll get next week’s practice before we get ready for the Rams and then we do Rams practice. Gibbs falls into that boat, he’s trending the right way. Wish we had more practice with him, but as far as the health of it, he is healing and he’s on schedule to be back and get his legs back under him and we’ll see where he’s at.
"I think there's a chance we could get him middle of the week next week," Campbell said. "He'll get a practice before the guys are on their break. But he's trending the right way, like I'm not concerned. As of right now, I think there's a good chance we're gonna have most of our guys ready for Week 1."John Maakaron has covered Detroit Sports since 2013.
