From the article

Gibbs leads the NFL with 166 touches. He's played one fewer game than the players behind him, Taylor (157 touches), Henry (157), and Bijan Robinson (156). Gibbs is on pace for 470 touches; James Wilder holds the record with 492. He failed to score for the first time in 2026, though he still topped 140 scrimmage yards in 4 of his 6 games. He went down awkwardly on a slide to close the game and limped afterward, though the Lions have not expressed concern about his availability.
