Gibbs Carries Load as Pacheco Out | Detroit Lions News

Jahmyr Gibbs exploded in the Lions’ opener with a career-high 29 carries for 156 yards and 2 TDs, plus 5 catches — and he’s just getting started. With presumed No. 2 back Isiah Pacheco sidelined for 12 weeks after back surgery (and missing training camp with a knee injury), Gibbs is now carrying the load alone. Sione Vaki got his first real reps, logging 22 snaps, while Jacob Saylors could be next in line. The Lions are counting on these guys to fill the void until Pacheco returns.
