Gibson ran for 51 yards on 14 carries against Green Bay on Sunday while catching two passes on two targets for five yards.
Gibson continues to play through a hairline shin fracture that appears to be hindering him as a runner, and his sluggish 2021 rushing production to this point seems to support that idea. Through seven games, Gibson has 408 yards and three touchdowns on 103 carries, leaving him with an average of 4.0 yards per carry and just one 20-yard carry after producing five carries of 20-plus yards at 4.7 yards per carry over 170 attempts in 2020. Washington has a bye week in Week 9, but first it has to go to Denver on Sunday in Week 8.
