ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs reported to training camp but was not on the field with teammates for their first practice Wednesday as his agent and the franchise work on negotiating a new deal.
Lions coach Dan Campbell said he did not have an update on talks but added: “You guys know how we feel about Gibbs.”
A message seeking comment was left with Gibbs’ agent, Todd France.
“This is both sides working through something,” Campbell said.
The Lions have signed many of their current top players to contract extensions, including linebacker Jack Campbell in May. The 24-year-old Gibbs, who has been a Pro Bowl selection each of his first three NFL seasons, seems to be next in line.
