Gibbs holding out for contract extension; deal could resolve within a week.

Gibbs was absent from the Lions' first training camp practice on Wednesday, not listed on the Physically Unable to Perform or Non-Football-Injury list, indicating his absence is contract-related rather than injury-related. The source reports Gibbs is seeking a contract extension and holding out; radio host Jon Jansen stated he heard from multiple sources close to the team that "I don't think anybody would be surprised if he missed a couple of days." Adam Schefter told Brad Galli that a deal could be done in the next week or so, suggesting progress in negotiations. Gibbs is under contract for this season with his fifth-year option exercised for 2027, but appears to want a long-term deal locked up.
