Lions list Jahmyr Gibbs with shoulder injury ahead of Vikings game

The Detroit Lions listed running back Jahmyr Gibbs with a shoulder injury and marked him as not participating in practice on Wednesday, Oct. 28, ahead of their game against the Minnesota Vikings. It was the teams’ initial injury report for the matchup; Detroit had not assigned Gibbs a game status in that report.

Lions Wire also reported Gibbs’s absence and shoulder designation. The listing establishes that he missed Wednesday’s practice, but Detroit did not give a diagnosis, describe the injury’s severity or say when he might return to practice.

Other Lions on the Oct. 28 practice report

Four other Lions were listed as not participating for rest: Aidan Hutchinson, Alim McNeill, Penei Sewell and DJ Wonnum. Coach Dan Campbell said he expected some players to attend the walkthrough while sitting out the practice portion, according to Lions Wire. The outlet described the four rest listings as scheduled days off, distinguishing them from Gibbs’s shoulder designation.

Vikings list Jones and Huber as nonparticipants

Minnesota’s initial report listed running back Aaron Jones Sr. and offensive lineman Joe Huber as not practicing with knee injuries, Lions Wire reported. Right tackle Brian O’Neill was limited with a knee injury. The two teams’ opening reports therefore identify several players to monitor as they prepare for the game, while recording only their participation at this stage of the week.

Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell described Jones as day-to-day after he left Minnesota’s previous game against Indianapolis following a 17-yard run early in the fourth quarter, according to Lions Wire. The outlet also reported that Huber had started the Vikings’ previous two games at left guard in place of Donovan Jackson, who needed surgery for a torn meniscus after leaving a Week 4 game.
