INJURY HITS KEEP COMING! Detroit Lions Face Major Questions In Running Back Room Behind Jahmyr Gibbs. Injuries could reshape the Detroit Lions’ roster on cutdown day, with questions swirling around who can stay healthy at key positions. Isaiah Pacheco’s persistent back issues keep him sidelined, intensifying the wide-open competition for the RB2 role behind Jahmyr Gibbs. With names like Sione Vaki, Jacob Sailors, Jabari Small, and newly signed Roydell Williams all scrambling for their shot, is the Lions’ next backup running back even on the current roster? On defense, Payton Turner’s season likely ends with another trip to injured reserve, prompting the Lions to bring in cornerback Eric Scott Jr. The mantra "you can’t make the club in the tub" rings louder as injuries remain a critical factor. As Detroit prepares to face the Indianapolis Colts, every available snap matters for those hoping to survive final cuts and cement their place on the team.
