Positive signalUsage

Gibbs expected for 25 touches as bell cow; historical 121.7 rushing yards per game in similar role.

Gibbs will serve as the Lions' true bell cow back in Week 1, with 25 touches expected. Historical precedent from 2024 when David Montgomery missed time with an MCL injury shows Gibbs averaged 21.3 rushing attempts, 121.7 rushing yards, 1.7 touchdowns, 3.7 receptions, and 41 receiving yards per game across three games. Offensive coordinator Drew Petzing has prioritized creative play-calling to get Gibbs in space via screens, wheel routes, and Texas routes to attack the Saints' defense, which finished eighth in DVOA vs. the run in 2025.
