Overview
- Gibson exited early in the second quarter after a kickoff return, was evaluated on the sideline, and was ruled out shortly thereafter.
- He limped off under his own power and appeared emotional while leaving for further evaluation, according to on-field reports.
- Replays left it unclear whether contact caused the injury or if his knee buckled just before impact.
- Physical therapist Jeff Mueller posted video analysis expressing concern for possible ACL/MCL involvement, though no official diagnosis has been released.
- At the time of the injury he had six carries for 21 yards and one catch for five, had taken more work after a Rhamondre Stevenson fumble, and his absence leaves Stevenson and rookie TreVeyon Henderson to handle the backfield with Henderson potentially seeing an expanded role.
