Lions expect RB Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) to return vs. Ravens - ESPN

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is expected to return to the lineup Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, according to coach Dan Campbell, after a hamstring injury sidelined the rookie for the past two weeks.

«He looks good. Yeah, I think he's going to be a go,» Campbell said Friday. «He looked pretty good yesterday.»

Gibbs, the No. 12 overall pick of the 2023 draft, had missed the past two weeks of practice before returning to action on a limited basis this week.

Detroit's running back room has taken a hit with leading rusher David Montgomery likely out for «a little bit» because of a rib cartilage injury, according to Campbell. The Lions improved to 5-1 with a 20-6 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6 but were held to a season-low 40 rushing yards.

Campbell is expecting Gibbs to take on the heavy workload immediately in Baltimore.

«Certainly, I think he's going to need to take the load of it. We're just going to have to see where he's at,» Campbell said. «I'd like to say we want to be careful with him, but the reality of it is we need him. So we'll go as far as he can take us here, trying to be as smart as we can, but he's got to go. And he's ready.»

In four games, Gibbs has 39 carries for 179 yards, which is the second most on the team. Gibbs also has 14 receptions for 70 yards.
