Jahmyr Gibbs is making full use of his bye-week in this ongoing season with the player recently making an appearance in the Pistons vs. Celtics game. Gibbs had courtside seats, obviously, and watched the game with his girlfriend, Nicole Anderson.
The running back was shown on the jumbotron and waved to the camera, with his girlfriend looking awkwardly at him and herself on the screen. Gibbs and the Lions will have plenty of time to rest and recover before their next matchup. Gibbs is coming off a spectacular win against Tampa Bay and will look to repeat this here.

The running back was quizzed by a reporter in the second quarter of the Pistons game, especially about his feelings on playing for Detroit in the league. Gibbs answered that both the Pistons and the Lions fight “really hard” and do not dare to quit and that they “always find a way to come back”. The running back was not only speaking about the Pistons but also his very own Lions, who are known for making major comebacks every now and then.
Jahmyr Gibbs’ Lions Look For Edge Rusher Before Trade Deadline
On another note, Jahmyr Gibbs will have to make friends with a new teammate before the season ends, with reports going around that the Lions are looking for an edge rusher before the trade deadline. While there are many players whom the team could easily target, the one who might most likely make the cut is Jalen Philips from the Dolphins roster.

While Philips’ stats are not exactly mind-blowing, the player is certainly very suitable for Detroit’s current locker room and will pair well with Aidan Hutchinson. The Lions were also apparently looking into bringing Trey Hutchinson from the Bengals.
Unfortunately, Hutchinson suffered a hip injury recently which has brought his season to a close. Not only the Lions, but hardly any other team will be hot for the player at this moment. While there are many options open for the Lions, the team will be looking forward to someone to complement Hutchinson on their own roster if they hope to improve their offense.
