Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs did not participate in practice on July 30, 2026, as he seeks a new long-term contract. The Lions have been proactive with contract extensions for former first-round picks, and Gibbs aims to reset the running back market. He joins Atlanta Falcons' Bijan Robinson, who is also holding out for a new deal. Gibbs ranked fifth in scrimmage yards last season and continues to build on his impressive career totals, which include 3,580 rushing yards and 1,449 receiving yards. Former agent Joel Corry suggests Gibbs could push the annual payout for top running backs to around $25 million, surpassing Saquon Barkley’s current benchmark of $20.6 million.
