Gibson (shin) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Matthew Paras of The Washington Times reports.
Such is Gibson's situation in his second NFL season as he plays through a stress fracture in his shin. He's continued to serve as Washington's No. 1 running back, which has amounted to 17.1 touches for 73.8 yards from scrimmage per game and six TDs in nine contests. Meanwhile, No. 2 RB J.D. McKissic has managed 7.9 touches per game despite being healthier than Gibson on a weekly basis. As such, Gibson is the top option out of this backfield as long as he's able to suit up on game days.
