Lions rookie CB Terrion Arnold was also evaluated for an upper body injury while second-round CB Ennis Rakestraw Jr. suffered an ankle injury on the same day.

Detroit was set for an intense team scrimmage Wednesday, but with the recent injuries, Campbell decided to dial back and remove the pads ahead of Saturday’s preseason game versus the Kansas City Chiefs.

Gibbs, 22, is a dynamic piece of the Lions’ offense. As a rookie in 2023, the former Alabama star rushed for 945 yards and 10 touchdowns to go along with 316 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown.

Campbell also said second-year QB Hendon Hooker (concussion) could play against the Chiefs. In the preseason opener against the New York Giants, his night ended early as he left the field at the start of the fourth quarter and didn’t return.

“I think there’s a good chance. I can’t say absolutely yes, but it’s trending the right way,” Campbell told 97.1 The Ticket.

It was Hooker’s first game action since college after recovering from a torn ACL. In the third quarter, Hooker went 5-for-9 with 36 passing yards and a team-high 34 rushing yards — including a 16-yard gain in which he lowered his shoulder to get the first down near the end of the quarter.

Hooker returned to practice Wednesday where he drew confidence from the solid game-time reps against New York. He described the concussion experience as being frustrating because of all the time he previously missed due to injury, but it wasn’t his first time having one so it wasn’t too much for him to handle. His mother, Wendy, and the Lions coaching staff have encouraged him to slide more in the future to avoid contact.

“My mom is a huge fan of sliding, so I’ll always get it from her, but now the coaches are on me as well,” Hooker said following practice. “‘We’ve got to slide.’ That’s her thing. She’s been saying it for years. I’m learning.”

Detroit will host the Los Angeles Rams in the season opener on Sept. 8.

Ravens cornerback Humphrey dropped 10 pounds this year. But it wasn’t until Jackson returned from illness that it was evident that Humphrey was a different player.

Humphrey intercepted Jackson four times in the quarterback’s first three practices of camp. Jackson provided a humorous explanation for Humphrey getting the better of him.

“I told Marlon he needs to get his hands right,” Jackson said. “That is why I’m throwing interceptions to him; he dropped a few last year. So I’m hoping that’s helping him out.”

Humphrey, 28, is coming off a season in which he recorded career lows in tackles (26) and passes defensed (five). Foot surgery during last year’s training camp sidelined him for the first four games of the season, and a calf strain forced him to miss two more games later that season.

Humphrey’s goal entering this season was to lose weight. He looked at his better seasons and noticed he was lighter in those years. Humphrey is 190 pounds, which is down from his playing weight of 200 the past couple of seasons.

“Ever since I tore my [pectoral] — around 25 [years] old — I got my grown-man weight on me, and it just never went off,” Humphrey said. “It’s a young man’s game, so I decided to get a little lower.”

It seems like no one has enjoyed putting the pads on more than new starting inside linebacker Simpson.
