As he negotiates a new long-term deal with Detroit, Lions star running back Jahmyr Gibbs did not practice on Wednesday during Detroit's first training camp practice.
Gibbs is a hold-in, meaning he is at Lions training camp but not currently participating.
"Of course, you guys know how we feel about Gibbs and all of our guys, (Sam) LaPorta, (Brian) Branch. And so, we'll take this as it comes. This will kind of continue. It'll come as it comes. I think that's the best way to say it. And so, this is both sides working through something and we'll take it as it comes, but that's where it is," Campbell said of Gibbs to open camp.
The Lions executed the fifth-year player option on Gibbs back in April, keeping the star rusher under contract through the 2027 NFL season. Gibbs will earn $14.293 million in 2027 with his player option.
Gibbs, a 5-foot-9, 202-pound back, rushed for 1,223 yards and 13 scores a season ago. The Alabama alum's rushing yards ranked seventh in the NFL last season. Gibbs also added 616 receiving yards and five touchdown grabs, helping him eclipse 1,800+ yards from scrimmage for a second straight season.
Gibbs is a three-time Pro Bowler and was the NFL's rushing touchdowns co-leader in 2024. In his career thus far, Gibbs has totaled 3,580 rushing yards, 1,449 receiving yards and 49 total touchdowns.
Atlanta running back Bijan Robinson is also a hold-in at Falcons training camp. Robinson and Gibbs are the NFL's top rushers currently up for lucrative contract extensions. ESPN's Dan Graziano wrote in June that Gibbs could be playing chicken with Robinson to see who sets the top of the NFL's running backs market.
Back in May, ESPN's Adam Schefter was optimistic that a deal would get done with Gibbs this summer.
