Undergoes MRI
Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Gibson (calf) underwent an MRI, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Gibson sustained a calf injury late in Sunday's Week 6 loss to Kansas City, and the results of his exam should help determine the extent of the issue. The 23-year-old rushed 10 times for 44 yards while hauling in two of three targets for no yards prior to his exit Sunday, and J.D. McKissic is in line for additional work if Gibson is forced to miss time.

Hurts calf Sunday
Gibson injured his calf during Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Analysis: Gibson was examined for a shin injury early in the contest but was able to return to action. Now, he's again being looked at by Washington trainers, only this time a calf issue is to blame. If he's unable to get back on the field, Gibson will finish Week 6 with 12 touches for 44 total yards. In Gibson's stead, J.D. McKissic will be the prime beneficiary, though undrafted rookie Jaret Patterson could get some run, too.

Good to go Week 6
Gibson (shin) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Gibson never practiced fully this week while he continues to battle a stress fracture in his shin, but Washington hasn't suggested his workload will be limited on account of the injury. While appearing on injury reports the past two weeks on account of the same issue, Gibson has averaged 17 touches between games against the Falcons and Saints.

Expected to play Sunday
Gibson (shin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: For the third week in a row, Gibson is questionable with a shin fracture, but he's expected to once agin play through the injury. Still, fantasy managers will want to ensure he avoids Washington's inactive list, which will be released approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Status changed to questionable
Gibson (shin) is now listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Kansas City, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The final injury report apparently wasn't quite final, with the team updating it after about 20 minutes to list Gibson as questionable rather than with no designation. He's nonetheless expected to continue playing through a shin fracture, just as he did the past two weeks when listed as questionable. Still, cautious fantasy managers should check back in to be safe when Washington releases its inactive list at 11:30 a.m. ET this Sunday.

Cleared to play
Gibson (shin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: He'll continue playing through a hairline fracture, having said himself that the injury isn't really bothering him, though it has limited his practice participation in recent weeks. Gibson took 34 carries for 123 yards and three touchdowns over his past two games, and he could be the clear centerpiece of Washington's offense come Sunday if WR Terry McLaurin (Q/hamstring) is absent or limited. The Chiefs rank bottom five in most efficiency metrics for both pass defense and run defense.

Moves to limited practice Thursday
Gibson (shin) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Gibson showed up on the injury report ahead of Washington's Week 4 road trip to Atlanta with what he later revealed to be a stress fracture in his shin. In the meantime, his practice reps have been capped to make sure he's available for game day, as offensive coordinator Scott Turner revealed Thursday. "He's good. He's not limited. We take care of him during the week, and we make sure he's ready to go, but as of now, once Sunday hits he's ready to go," Turner told John Keim of ESPN.com on…read more

Held out of practice again
Gibson (shin) isn't practicing Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Gibson revealed last week that he's been playing through a hairline fracture in his shin, noting that the injury isn't especially painful. His workload hasn't been affectd thus far, though Gibson still cedes work on obvious passing downs to backfield mate J.D. McKissic. In terms of his rushing workload, Gibson has put up lines of 14 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown against Atlanta and 20 carries for 60 yards and two scores versus New Orleans in the two games since he was first listed as…read more

Carries offense in loss
Gibson rushed for 60 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries in Sunday's 33-22 loss to the Saints. He also caught both his targets for 12 yards.
Analysis: The running back dealt with a stress fracture in his shin throughout the week in practice, but Gibson still handled his usual workload and scored Washington's only two TDs of the day, punching the ball home from five yards out in the second quarter and from the one-yard line in the fourth. Assuming he's able to keep playing through his injury, Gibson could be poised for another big performance in Week 6 against a soft Kansas City run defense.

Cleared to suit up Sunday
Gibson (shin) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Analysis: Gibson didn't practice fully at any point this week while tending to a stress fracture in his shin, but the injury ultimately won't keep him off the field Sunday. Gibson has been able to play through the issue so far this season, and Washington hasn't provided any indication that the running back's Week 5 workload will be affected as a result. Gibson has logged between 56 and 67 percent of offensive snaps in each of Washington's first four games, averaging 14.7 carries and 2.8 targets per…read more

Expected to play in Week 5
Gibson (shin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Per Sam Fortier of The Washington Post, Gibson, who was limited at practice Thursday and Friday, is dealing with a stress fracture in his shin. The injury has been something the running back has been able to play through so far this season, so assuming he incurs no pregame setbacks, Gibson is on track to suit up Week 5. Official confirmation on his status arrive when Washington releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Playing through stress fracture
Gibson, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, revealed Friday that he's been playing through a stress fracture in his shin, noting that it doesn't hurt badly and doesn't seem too serious, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Between his comments Friday, the fact he played last week and his limited practice participation Thursday and Friday, the young running back appears well on his way to suiting up this Sunday. However, the revelation about a stress fracture adds to concern about his chances of staying on the field throughout the season, not to mention the possibility of an in-game aggravation in the coming weeks. Gibson picked up 16 touches and handled a 55-percent snap share in a close win over the Falcons in…read more

Listed as questionable
Gibson (shin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Gibson played through the same shin issue last Sunday following a mid-week addition to the injury report, taking 14 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown while playing 55 percent of the snaps in a 34-30 win over the Falcons. He'll likely play again this weekend, but fantasy managers should still check in Sunday to make sure Gibson isn't on the inactive list ahead of the game's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. He gets a tough matchup against a Saints defense that has allowed just 3.1 yards per carry to date.

Increases activity Thursday
Gibson (shin) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Gibson is following his practice regimen from a week ago, only a day earlier each time, by following up Wednesday's DNP with limited work Thursday. He seems to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's game against the Saints, while backfield mate J.D. McKissic (ankle) bumped up from limited to full in the first two sessions of Week 5 prep. Friday's injury report will be telling for Gibson's availability and potential to play.

No practice Wednesday
Gibson was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a shin injury, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Gibson experienced some restrictions last week, when he missed practice Thursday before turning in a limited practice Friday. He eventually was active this past Sunday in Atlanta, turning 16 touches into 75 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown on a 56 percent share of the offensive snaps. Meanwhile, J.D. McKissic received a season-high 12 touches for 59 total yards and the game-winning score while handling a 40-percent snap share.

Finds end zone in Week 4 win
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.
Analysis: 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…read more

Suiting up Week 4
Gibson (shin) is listed as active Sunday at Atlanta.
Analysis: Gibson didn't appear on Washington's injury report until Thursday, when he was absent due to a shin injury. He returned in a limited capacity to wrap up Week 4 prep, and while he was listed as questionable for Sunday's contest, the Football Team seemed to forecast his availability when he traveled with his teammates to Atlanta on Saturday.

Likely to play
Gibson (shin), who is listed as questionable, is likely to play in Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Falcons barring a pregame setback, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Gibson popped up on the injury report Thursday and didn't participate in practice. However, he took part in position drills Friday and traveled to Atlanta with the team. That seemingly puts Gibson on track to play, and he'll hope to see a boost in involvement in the offense after drawing only 15 and 13 touches in Washington's last two games, respectively. Final confirmation of Gibson's status will come shortly before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Travels with team to Atlanta
Gibson (shin), who is listed as questionable, traveled with the team ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Perhaps more crucially, Washington chose not to elevate anyone from the practice squad, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post, which would also indicate Gibson will be available for what figures to be a juicy matchup against the vulnerable Falcons defense. Fantasy managers will want to check his status ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff for confirmation, but at least as of now, Gibson's playing-time status appears to be trending in the right direction.

Deemed questionable
Gibson (shin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: After missing practice Thursday, the running back was spotted going through position drills Friday morning. Gibson was listed as a limited participant, per Ben Standig of The Athletic, and thus may need to be treated as a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Analysis: The 23-year-old was added to Washington's injury report as a non-participant Thursday due to the shin injury, but he's back on the field Friday and is at least practicing in a limited fashion. Gibson should have a solid chance to suit up Sunday in Atlanta, though it's unclear if he'll be able to avoid a Week 4 injury designation completely.

Previously, he tended to a shoulder issue during preparation for Weeks 2 and 3, but a shin concern is hindering Gibson this time around. Perhaps the second-year pro merely received a maintenance day Thursday, but the team will have a chance to clarify his status before Sunday's game in Atlanta. Behind Gibson, pass-catching RB J.D.

Explodes for TD reception in loss
Gibson rushed 12 times for just 31 yards but brought in one of two targets for a 73-yard touchdown in Washington's 43-21 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Analysis: Gibson's lackluster day on the ground was offset by his touchdown reception, a second-quarter play on which the speedy running back flashed his explosiveness by taking a screen pass and outrunning multiple Bills defenders to the end zone. His rushing yardage tally was a disappointment after he'd combined for 159 yards on the ground over the first two games, but he'll look to capitalize on a potentially favorable Week 4 road matchup versus the Falcons.

Good to go
Gibson (shoulder) will play Sunday against the Bills.
Analysis: GIbson enters the game with no injury designation after logging full practices Thursday and Friday. He's still searching for his first touchdown of the season, but with 33 carries and seven targets on 62.7 percent snap share, his role does appear to have grown at least slightly compared to last year.

Gibson (shoulder) was estimated as a full participant for Friday's practice and is expected to play Sunday at Buffalo, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 23-year-old was a limited participant at practice to start the week, but he should be able to avoid an injury designation for Sunday after being listed with no limitations the past two days. Gibson has 33 carries for 159 yards and five catches for 22 yards through the first two games of the season, and he's still looking for his first touchdown after notching 11 scores in 2020.

Gibson (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Washington limited Gibson's reps Wednesday in the team's first session of Week 3, but his ability to upgrade to full activity Thursday suggests his shoulder won't be an issue heading into Sunday's game in Buffalo. Gibson took more of a back seat to J.D. McKissic in the passing game during the Football Team's Week 2 win over the Giants, but the former has still enjoyed solid workloads through the first two contests. He's earned 38 touches (33 carries, five receptions) in total, racking up 181…read more

Analysis: Through two games, Gibson ranks 18th in offensive snap share among NFL running backs at 62.9 percent, which has translated to 33 carries for 159 yards (4.8 YPC) and five catches (on seven targets) for 22 yards. Meanwhile, J.D. McKissic (40.3 percent) has totaled 10 touches for 101 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown. With a capped session under his belt to kick off Week 3, Gibson doesn't seem in danger of missing time, but his status nonetheless bears watching as the week goes on.

Efficient on ground in win
Gibson rushed 13 times for 69 yards and brought in both targets for four yards in Washington's 30-29 win over the Giants on Thursday night.
Analysis: Gibson's rushing opportunities were ultimately capped partly by game script despite the favorable matchup, as backfield mate J.D. McKissic ended up seeing quite a bit of work in a frenetic fourth quarter. Gibson still turned in a second straight efficient rushing performance to open the 2021 campaign, giving him 159 yards on 33 carries over his first pair of contests. He also remained involved as a receiver to a modest extent and will look to bump his workload on the ground back up in a Week 3…read more

The second-year back got off to a solid start in the season opener versus the Chargers, rushing 20 times for 90 yards while reeling in three of his five targets for another 18 yards. He should be in line to head the Washington backfield again this week.

Totals 108 yards in loss
Gibson carried the ball 20 times for 90 yards and caught three of his five targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Chargers. He also fumbled.
Analysis: Perhaps more crucial than Gibson's final yardage total was the fact he commanded a three-down role, seeing more targets than J.D. McKissic (one) while out-carrying the combo of McKissic and Jaret Patterson by a whopping 20-to-3 margin. It certainly helps that the second-year back looked good with the extra usage, bursting through the line of scrimmage on a number of occasions.

Gibson rushed the ball seven times for 28 yards and also recorded two receptions for 19 yards in Friday's preseason game against Cincinnati.
Analysis: Gibson played in all four series with presumed starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, which equated to the entirety of the first quarter. Though he didn't find the end zone, Gibson did provide chunk gains of nine and seven yards on the ground as well as a 14-yard reception.

Gibson says he no longer feels lingering effects from last year's turf toe injury, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Two months ago, Gibson revealed that his toe still had some discomfort that required treatment, though nothing that was impacting his participation in practice. Even if his risk of re-injury remains somewhat heightened, this doesn't sound like a threat to Gibson's availability or workload at the beginning of the year.

However, it wasn't all good news coming out of OTAs, as Gibson revealed he's still receiving treatment for the toe injury that sidelined him for Weeks 14 and 15 of his rookie season.

Gibson said Wednesday that he hasn't fully healed from the toe injury he suffered last season, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: After missing Weeks 14 and 15, the rookie returned for Weeks 16 and 17 and Washington's lone playoff contest, though he was limited to 185 total yards and zero touchdowns over the three-game stretch. Gibson didn't need surgery after the season, but it's apparently been a slow process working his way back from turf toe, as he still notices pain and discomfort at times. That said, Gibson has been practicing with teammates at OTAs, where he says he's been running and cutting at full speed. He also…read more

Won't need toe procedure
Gibson indicated that he won't require an offseason procedure to address the toe issue he played through down the stretch this season, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Gibson, who is currently listed on the Washington Football Team web site as 6-foot-2, 220 pounds, also noted that he hopes to slim down some this offseason, with an eye toward gaining more explosiveness as a runner. In 14 games this past season, the 2020 third-rounder carried 170 times for 795 yards and 11 TDs, while catching 36 of his 44 targets for 247 yards.

Analysis: The rookie back was able to work through his toe issue as he had during the final two regular-season games, but he unsurprisingly found running room at a premium against the Buccaneers' No. 1-ranked rush defense. Despite missing two games to injury and splitting carries throughout the majority of the campaign, Gibson still finished his first pro season with a solid 4.7 yards per carry, 11 rushing touchdowns and 36 receptions over 14 regular-season games.

Analysis: Gibson sat out Weeks 14 and 15 due to a turf toe injury, but he was able to cap the season with appearances in both of Washington's final two games of the campaign. Considering he took on 33 touches for 150 yards from scrimmage in those outings, he should be good to go this weekend, which will be confirmed approximately 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Analysis: Gibson played through a turf toe injury Weeks 16 and 17, racking up 136 yards on 29 rushes and hauling in four of five targets for 14 yards. He didn't log any practice reps last week before suiting up for the regular-season finale against the Eagles, so he doesn't necessarily have to take part in drills this week to be cleared for Saturday's wild-card game versus the Buccaneers. Wednesday's injury report will reveal whether or not Gibson made an appearance on the practice field.

Gibson (toe) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Gibson logged 37 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's playoff-clinching win over the Eagles, en route to carrying 19 times for 75 yards. With no reported setbacks in that contest, it seems likely that Gibson's DNP listing Tuesday is indicative of him continuing to manage the toe issue that led to him being listed as questionable heading into Week 17 action.

Posts 75 yards in crucial win
Gibson (toe) rushed 19 times for 75 yards and caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's playoff-clinching win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Gibson concludes his rookie campaign with 795 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 170 carries (4.7 yards per tote) while catching 36 passes for 247 more yards. Washington unearthed a gem in the third round of this year's draft, and the breakout back let the world know with a monstrous three-touchdown showcase against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Gibson was already producing fantasy-worthy numbers prior to his explosion on national television, but his ascension to the top of the player rankings…read more

Active Sunday
Gibson (toe) is active for Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.
Analysis: Gibson is playing through a turf toe injury at the moment, which sidelined him Weeks 14 and 15 before he mustered 69 yards from scrimmage on 13 touches last Sunday against the Panthers. Washington can clinch the NFC East with a victory Sunday, so Gibson may attempt to increase the 30-percent share of the offensive snaps that he garnered Week 16.

Likely to play Week 17
Gibson (toe), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, is expected to be "good to go" for the regular-season finale, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Gibson's availability won't be locked in until Washington releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but the rookie looks like he'll be ready to go as the Football Team looks to punch its ticket to the postseason. After missing Weeks 14 and 15 while battling turf toe, Gibson returned to action for the Week 16 loss to Carolina, playing 21 snaps and carrying 10 times for 61 yards while hauling in three of four targets for eight yards. Gibson didn't practice in…read more

Listed as questionable
GIbson (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: There were no reports that Gibson suffered a setback in his return to action in last week's loss to Carolina, but there will inevitably be some level of concern after he was held out of practice Wednesday through Friday. If he doesn't end up playing Sunday, Washington likely would split backfield work between J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber, as was the case Weeks 14 and 15.

Not spotted Friday
Gibson (toe) isn't participating in the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Gibson returned from a two-game absence for last week's loss to the Panthers, taking 13 touches for 69 yards while playing 30 percent of offensive snaps. The missed practice time might seem worrisome, but head coach Ron Rivera has said the rookie running backs is "fine," and offensive coordinator Scott Turner said Gibson's reduced snap share last week was a product of game script. Still, Gibson's status will bear monitoring when Washington releases its final injury report later Friday.

Gibson (toe) didn't practice Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: For a second consecutive session, Gibson logged a DNP as he manages a turf toe injury that sidelined him Weeks 14 and 15. Coach Ron Rivera alleviated concerns Thursday, stating Gibson is "fine" and Washington is allowing the running back to get as much rest as possible to be ready for game day, according to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington.

Absent for second straight practice
Gibson (toe) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday and is slated to go down as a non-participant on Washington's official report, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After missing two games while battling turf toe, Gibson returned to action in the Week 16 loss to the Panthers, carrying 10 times for 61 yards and catching three passes for eight yards while playing 30 percent of Washington's offensive snaps. Though Washington didn't report that Gibson experience a setback in his return to action, his absence from two straight practices to begin Week 17 may indicate otherwise.

Missing practice to begin week
Gibson (toe) didn't practice Wednesday, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.
Analysis: Gibson is listed with the same toe injury that kept him out in Weeks 14 and 15. He then returned for Sunday's loss to the Panthers, taking 10 carries for 61 yards and three catches for eight yards while playing just 30 percent of offensive snaps. The workload was disappointing relative to his pre-injury norm, but that seems to have been a matter of game script and context rather than any setback with Gibson's toe. Regardless, fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on his progress throughout…read more

Tallies 69 yards in return
Gibson carried the ball 10 times for 61 yards in Week 16 against the Panthers. He added three receptions for eight yards.
Analysis: Gibson returned to the field for the first time since Week 13 after recovering from a toe injury. Washington fell behind and was scripted out of their run game early on, though Gibson still accounted for 10 of the team's 19 rushing attempts -- three of which went to quarterbacks. Gibson also showcased some explosiveness, breaking off gains of 22 and 13 yards . He should be relied upon heavily with the NFC East title at stake in a Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Back in action Sunday
Gibson (toe) is listed as active Sunday against the Panthers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Back in action for the first time since suffering a turf toe injury Week 13 at Pittsburgh, Gibson could have a smaller workload than normal, considering he practiced in a limited capacity in advance of this contest. J.D. McKissic still is on hand for pass-catching reps out of Washington's backfield, while Peyton Barber is available for early-down work and short-yardage situations. Still, in the 11 appearances in which he was healthy this season, Gibson averaged 15.5 touches for 79.8 yards from…read more

Gibson (toe), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 22-year-old practiced as a limited participant all week to earn the questionable designation, but it appears he has a strong chance of suiting up Week 16.

Could be game-time call
Gibson (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Gibson was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, with coach Rivera noting Thursday that the running back looked good. Both Gibson and quarterback Alex Smith (toe) appear truly questionable, while wideout Terry McLaurin (ankle) is listed as doubtful. J.D. McKissic earned 24 carries and 14 targets the past two weeks with Gibson inactive, working ahead of Peyton Barber (16 carries, four targets) for the most part.

Puts in limited practice
Gibson (toe) was limited at Thursday's practice, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: For a second session in a row, Gibson was contained to individual drills, hence the 'limited' tag. Afterward, coach Ron Rivera told JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington that Gibson "looked good," "took a number of reps" and "is making progress" through his turf toe injury. There's no telling if Gibson is trending toward a return Sunday against the Panthers, but Washington could clear up his status when it releases its final Week 16 practice report Friday.

Participates in individual drills
Gibson (toe) took part in individual drills at Thursday's practice, Julie Donaldson of Washington's official site reports.
Analysis: Gibson seems poised to match his activity level from Wednesday, when he was listed as a limited participant, but Thursday's injury report could reveal otherwise. In any case, he appears to be drawing close to ending his two-game absence due to a turf toe injury. Consequently, Gibson's status will be one to monitor as the weekend draws closer.

Gibson (toe) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Gibson capped last week with individual drills at Friday's practice and kicked off Week 16 prep with some work in team drills. Still, he was considered a limited participant for both sessions, meaning he continues to progress through his turf toe injury. Gibson will have two more chances to prove his health before Washington potentially gives him a designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Gibson (toe) participated in the walk-through portion of Wednesday's practice, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Per JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington, Gibson also put in some work during team drills before hitting the sideline to consult with the equipment crew about his shoes. Gibson has missed the past two games due to a bout with turf toe, but his presence on the field both last Friday and to begin the current week is a decent sign that he's trending in the right direction. Washington will reveal how much work he was able to handle when it releases its first Week 16 injury report later Wednesday.

Officially inactive for Sunday
Gibson (toe) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Gibson was able to avoid being ruled out Friday after he returned to practice in a limited fashion, but with Washington still listing him as "doubtful" for the contest, he never seemed to have much of a shot to suit up Week 15. With the rookie set to miss his second straight game, Washington will lean on a combination of J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber out of the backfield. McKissic will handle most of the passing-down work and will mix in as a change-of-pace option, while Barber likely garners…read more

Won't play Sunday
Gibson (toe), who is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, won't suit up for the contest, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Gibson only managed one limited practice this week before receiving the "doubtful" designation for Sunday's contest, so the fact that he'll be sidelined for a second straight game should come as no surprise. Expect the rookie to be officially ruled out with the release of Washington's inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. J.D.

On Wednesday, coach Ron Rivera told JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington that Gibson is making "good progress" through his turf toe injury, but he hasn't recovered enough to set foot on the practice field.

Gibson (toe) was present at practice Wednesday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: Unsurprisingly, Gibson didn't practice last week due to the turf toe injury that he picked up early on in Washington's Week 13 win at Pittsburgh. He may merely be out on the field Wednesday to get some work in on the side with Washington's training staff, but he at least appears to be making some progress through his health concern.

He then missed practice Wednesday through Friday, with the lack of participation suggesting he could miss time beyond Week 14. Washington figures to split backfield work between J.D.

Looks doubtful for Week 14
Gibson is unlikely to play Sunday against the 49ers after being diagnosed with turf toe, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Gibson was removed early in Monday's win over the Steelers with the left foot injury, playing just four snaps and finishing with 14 yards on two carries. Washington doesn't yet have an estimated timeline for Gibson's return, but turf toe injuries often sideline players for multiple games. Assuming Gibson is forced to sit out this weekend's game, J.D.

Analysis: At the time of his departure in the first quarter, Gibson had two carries for 14 yards.

Unlikely to return to Monday's game
Gibson suffered a toe injury and is doubtful to return to Monday's game at Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Gibson was clearly hobbled after a first-quarter run as he went to sideline. Per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post, Gibson had the big toe on his left foot wrapped and tested it out behind the bench. However, Gibson walked about with a distinct limp, according to Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic, and Washington soon made a ruling on the running back's status. With Gibson unlikely to return, J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber will be the team's only running backs for the remainder of the contest.

Smashes Cowboys for three TDs
Gibson carried the ball 20 times for 115 yards and three touchdowns and caught five of seven targets for 21 yards in Thursday's 41-16 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: The Dallas defense simply had no answer for Washington's running game -- even Peyton Barber averaged 5.2 yards a carry -- and Gibson took full advantage, scoring on a five-yard scamper in the first quarter before reeling off 23-yard and 37-yard scores as his team pulled away in the fourth. In the process, Gibson became the first rookie to score three TDs in a Thanksgiving Day game since Randy Moss, who racked up three scores on the Cowboys in 1998.

The rookie running back has compiled five rushing scores in his last four games. J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber would handle Washington's backfield reps if Gibson ends up missing any time.

Dealing with shoulder injury
Gibson didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Gibson is coming off a career-low nine touches in Sunday's loss to the Giants, resulting in 55 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown. His offensive snap share (46 percent) wasn't out of the norm, but perhaps the shoulder issue forced Washington to use J.D. McKissic a bit more (12 touches, 83 percent share). In any case, Gibson's status will be one to watch as the weekend approaches to get a sense of his availability for Week 10.

Analysis: Gibson garnered six of nine RB carries for Washington while collecting his team's lone rushing score, but J.D. McKissic dominated the position's passing-game work, commanding 14 targets to the rookie's three. The Memphis product posted an outstanding 128-yard, one-touchdown effort on 20 carries in Week 7 before his inefficient rushing outing Sunday, but in terms of his receiving upside, it's now been two consecutive games Gibson has been held to three or fewer receptions.

Gibson carried 20 times for 128 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 25-3 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Gibson gashed the struggling Dallas defense for 6.4 yards per carry while scoring a 12-yard touchdown in the first quarter. He failed to haul in his only target in the passing game, but that was mostly due to the fact that his team played from ahead for most of the game and was content to keep the ball on the ground for the most part.

Posts 55 total yards in loss
Gibson rushed nine times for 30 yards and secured four of five targets for 25 yards in the Washington Football Team's 20-19 loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Gibson logged just one more carry than backfield mate J.D. McKissic and saw one fewer target, as coach Ron Rivera continued to keep the workload split fairly evenly between the two. Naturally, that approach isn't doing fantasy managers any favors, and with McKissic actually more productive on a per-touch basis Sunday, it isn't likely Gibson separates into a true lead-back role any time soon. As such, the rookie's fantasy prospects remain mixed heading into a Week 7 battle against the Cowboys.

Analysis: One day removed from having limitations on his practice reps, Gibson handled all of them. After earning 11 touches Week 1, he's averaged 14.8 touches for 72.8 yards from scrimmage per game and scored three TDs over the last four contests. Considering he's earning most of the RB touches for Washington, Gibson will look to strike Sunday against a Giants defense that has allowed 172.8 total yards per game to running backs this season.

Analysis: Gibson is a new addition to the injury report, after handling his typical workload (16 touches, 56 percent snap share) in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Rams. His ability to practice -- even on a limited basis -- suggests he's expected to be available for this weekend's game against the Giants.

Analysis: The versatile running back once again paced the backfield in carries and had a solid role in the passing game, but with the duo of Kyle Allen and Alex Smith averaging a minuscule 3.7 yards per attempt, there just wasn't much upside to be had.

Gibson carried the ball 13 times for 46 yards and a touchdown in Week 4 against Baltimore. He added four receptions on five targets for 82 yards.
Analysis: After Gibson showed glimpses of promise in Week 3, he provided a breakout performance one week later against the Ravens. He commanded 13 of the team's 22 rushing attempts, including a goal-line carry that he converted for a two-yard score. Gibson also showed explosiveness in the passing game, taking a screen pass for 40 yards halfway through the second quarter. He appears to have taken over as the clear lead back in Washington's backfield heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Rams.

Gibson carried the ball nine times for 49 yards and a touchdown in Week 3 against the Browns. He also added three catches for 11 yards.
Analysis: Gibson found the end zone for the second consecutive game, converting a two-yard score to cap off a third-quarter drive. While that helped him to a productive day, he also broke off rushes of 13 and nine yards. The only downside to his performance was a lost fumble to end the first half, though the mistake did not have a major impact on the outcome of the game.

Analysis: His first NFL score came late in the fourth quarter on an 11-yard run as Washington attempted to mount a comeback. Gibson continues to show flashes of his talent, and the third-round pick could find some success in Week 3's road tilt against a Browns defense that just gave up 86 scrimmage yards to Joe Mixon.

Gibson gained 36 yards on nine carries and added two additional yards while snaring both his targets during Sunday's 27-17 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Making his NFL debut, Gibson led the team in rushing despite receiving roughly half as many carries as Peyton Barber. The majority of his production came on a nifty 20-yard scamper, but nevertheless, it was encouraging to see him average 4.0 yards per carry against one of the tougher run defenses in the league. Barber did score twice on the day, but perhaps Gibson's more productive per-touch numbers could earn him additional usage next Sunday against the Cardinals.

Behind McKissic on depth chart
Washington listed Gibson as the No. 2 running back on the unofficial depth chart the team released Tuesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: J.D. McKissic sits atop the depth chart heading into Week 1, but his presence there doesn't necessarily mean he'll take Washington's first snap or lead the backfield in carries and touches in Sunday's season opener versus the Eagles. Instead, Washington is expected to make use of a committee of running backs that includes McKissic, Gibson, Peyton Barber and Bryce Love.

Emergence contributes to AP release
Gibson's emergence during training camp played a role in Washington's decision to release Adrian Peterson on Friday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: The third-round rookie already was ticketed for a role in the Week 1 gameplan, but it was Peterson who was widely viewed as the favorite to serve as the lead runner. It's now possible GIbson handles the job, though this report notes that Peyton Barber could also get carries, and the team still has J.D. McKissic for passing downs. Gibson is the one with three-down potential, even if it doesn't materialize right away.

Getting work with starters
Gibson had a couple nice runs with the first-team offense at the beginning of Monday's practice, Kyle Stackpole of the official team website reports.
Analysis: Washington seems to be taking a mix-and-match approach with its running backs, splitting first-team reps between Gibson, Adrian Peterson, Bryce Love, J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber. While Peterson remains the favorite for the Week 1 start, it's Gibson who offers the highest ceiling for fantasy value down the road, combining pass-catching skill with 4.39 speed in a 228-pound frame. Peterson and Barber are early down bruisers with minimal receiving ability, while McKissic is an undersized…read more
