Dan Campbell discusses Jahmyr Gibbs’ holdout during Lions training camp

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell addressed the media on July 31 as training camp continued. The main topic was running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who remains absent while awaiting a new contract. Campbell expressed confidence that a deal will be finalized but emphasized focus on coaching available players in the meantime. With Gibbs out, players like Sione Vaki and Isaiah Pacheco have been given more first-team opportunities. Campbell is also working to evaluate depth on the offensive line, as well as addressing voids in the defense due to the departures of D.J. Reader and Roy Lopez. The team is prioritizing running the football effectively and handling situational play heading into the 2026 season.
