The Lions appear comfortable with their first three options at running back, with Jahmyr Gibbs the starter, Isiah Pacheco the backup, and Sione Vaki a staple on special teams. But the Lions have rostered four running backs in recent years, setting up a battle between last year's RB4 Jacob Saylors and Jabari Small; a competition Campbell has said is very close.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Saylors gets major opportunity to win RB4 role with top three backs unavailable in preseason.

With Jahmyr Gibbs locked in as starter, Isiah Pacheco as backup, and Sione Vaki on special teams, the Lions have a four-running-back roster structure; Saylors (last year's RB4) is competing against Jabari Small for the fourth spot, a competition Campbell has called very close. Gibbs, Pacheco, Vaki, and Small are all unavailable or injured for the preseason game against Cincinnati, creating a major opportunity for Saylors to separate himself in the reserve competition.
