Gibson (shin) rushed 14 times for 63 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Falcons.
Gibson didn't seem limited by the shin injury that cropped up late in the week, as he got 14 of Washington's 23 rushing attempts by running backs. He scored his first rushing touchdown of the season from two yards out in the second quarter. Talks of a three-down role for Gibson have fizzled out with J.D. McKissic -- who caught the game-winning touchdown in the final minute -- cementing himself as the team's third-down back of choice, but the second-year pro out of Memphis still sees plenty of usage as Washington's early down workhorse and goal-line back. Up next for Gibson is a Week 5 visit from the Saints.
