Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has prepared for the 2026 season through both physical training and adjustments to the team’s offensive scheme.

During the offseason, Gibbs incorporated Muay Thai into his training regimen under coach Rafael Cordeiro to improve his conditioning, stamina, and hand speed. This unconventional approach followed a record-breaking contract extension.

As the season approaches, Gibbs has commented on the team’s new offensive direction under coordinator Drew Petzing. Following the departure of John Morton and the trade of David Montgomery to the Houston Texans, Gibbs is expected to take on an increased workload. He noted that Petzing’s scheme provides greater versatility by making the run and pass games appear similar.
