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 begins, Gibbs is adjusting to the 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, describing Petzing as a “smart coach who builds strong rapport with his players.” In the Week 1 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, Gibbs recorded 186 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns during a 31-30 overtime victory. Despite this performance, the NFL named D’Andre Swift as the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. Following a his career-high 34 touches in the opener, reports indicate the Lions intend to maintain a heavy workload for Gibbs in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills. Head head coach Dan Campbell expressed confidence in Gibbs' ability to handle this volume, even on a short week, as heavy workload in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills, noting the team's heightened reliance on him is heightened by due to injuries to backup options. By Week 5, Gibbs was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week following a performance against the Arizona Cardinals in which he recorded 151 rushing yards, two touchdowns, and 56 receiving yards. Head coach Dan Campbell praised Gibbs’ unselfishness, specifically citing a critical pass protection block on a fourth-and-1 play. Gibbs currently leads the NFL with 747 yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns.
