What It Means:

Gibbs is set to return from a two-game absence and lead the Lions' backfield while David Montgomery (ribs) is out. "I'd like to say we’re going to be careful with him, but the reality is we need him," Campbell said about the first-round rookie. Gibbs ran 17 times for 80 yards and was targeted twice in Montgomery's only other absence this season. He doesn't have more than 8 carries or 42 rushing yards in any other contest. Craig Reynolds (hamstring/toe) will mix in as well behind Gibbs.
