Gibbs Takes Over With Pacheco Out | Detroit Lions News

Detroit’s backfield just got a lot more focused on Jahmyr Gibbs — and that’s not all bad. With backup running back Isiah Pacheco sidelined on injured reserve, the Lions’ rushing attack will lean heavily on Gibbs, who’s now the highest-paid RB in the league and expected to carry the load from day one. Pacheco, a Super Bowl champ with Kansas City, was meant to ease Gibbs’ workload, but his absence leaves Sione Vaki and Jacob Saylors stepping into bigger roles. The Lions’ offense hinges on Gibbs staying healthy and elite — and this injury could make or break their early-season momentum.
