Jahmyr Gibbs Signs Contract Extension with Lions

Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs signed a contract extension on Thursday, coinciding with his first practice appearance at training camp.

Although Gibbs was limited to individual drills during Friday's practice, he expressed his relief at being back on the field after missing the initial week of camp. He described the contract negotiation as extremely stressful and emphasized his eagerness to play alongside his teammates.

The Lions are expected to manage Gibbs' workload carefully to prevent further absences, given the significance of his three-year, $67.5 million contract.
