With the injury issues, Campell suggested that not only would Gibbs play, but he’ll likely take the bulk of the work Sunday.
“Certainly, I think he’s going to need to take the load of (the work),” Campbell said. “We’re just going to have to see where he’s at. I’d like to say we want to be careful with him, but the reality of it is we need him. We’ll go as far as he can take us here, trying to be as smart as we can, but he’s gotta go. He’s ready, he’s ready.”
In four games this season, Gibbs has rushed 39 times for 179 yards and added 14 catches for 70 yards. The No. 12 overall pick saw a season-high 17 carries in Week 3’s win over Atlanta. In his three other tilts, Gibbs took no more than eight carries.
Lions fans and fantasy footballers have been clamoring to see more Gibbs this season. They’re likely to get their wish Sunday in Baltimore.
