Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs out of rookie minicamp with minor ankle injury

Detroit Lions first-round pick Jahmyr Gibbs will not take part in Day 2 of rookie minicamp Saturday after tweaking his ankle in Friday's practice.

Lions assistant general manager Ray Agnew said Saturday the injury is minor.

"He had a little tweak, but no big issue," Agnew said. "He'll be fine. We're just being safe with it."

The No. 12 pick of last month's draft, Gibbs was one of the best dual-threat running backs in college football last season. He led Alabama with 926 yards rushing on 151 carries last season, had a team-high 44 receptions for 444 yards and joined Bijan Robinson (Atlanta Falcons) as the only running backs to go inside the top 20 since 2018.
