The Detroit Lions face a significant challenge as running back David Montgomery is sidelined with a knee injury, leaving Jahmyr Gibbs to take on a larger role in the offense. Gibbs, who ranks sixth in the league with 1,047 rushing yards, remains focused on team success rather than individual carries.

With Montgomery's status uncertain, the Lions will evaluate Craig Reynolds, Sione Vaki, and Jermar Jefferson for additional carries. The team emphasizes a 'Next Man Up' mentality, relying on depth amid numerous injuries.

Jahmyr Gibbs has emerged as a key player for the Detroit Lions, contributing significantly to their top-ranked scoring offense. However, he recently faced scrutiny from head coach Dan Campbell after a social media post seemingly exposed parts of the team's playbook.

The post featured fellow running back Jermar Jefferson and included a whiteboard with offensive play calls. Campbell expressed surprise upon learning about the incident and indicated the need to address it.

Despite the controversy, Gibbs continues to perform well, recently achieving a career-high rushing total of 973 yards.
