Jahmyr Gibbs Misses First Detroit Lions Training Camp Practice

Running back Jahmyr Gibbs did not attend the Detroit Lions' first practice of training camp on Wednesday. He was not placed on the Physically Unable to Perform or Non-Football Injury lists, indicating the absence is not injury-related. A photo taken by the team's media staff showed Gibbs arriving at camp earlier in the day, confirming he reported to the facility.

"I have heard it from multiple sources close to the team where I don’t think anybody would be surprised if he missed a couple of days," said 97.1 The Ticket radio host Jon Jansen, referencing the possibility of a contract dispute.

NFL reporter Adam Schefter told Brad Galli that a new agreement could be reached within the next week.

"I think the Gibbs thing could be relatively quick, whatever that is," Scheffer said.

The Lions exercised Gibbs' fifth-year option for 2027, but the player is reportedly seeking a longer-term deal. Lions head coach Dan Campbell commented on the situation to ESPN after practice, though his remarks were not included in the report.
