Jahmyr Gibbs’ Wordless Response Fuels Contract Speculation

Jahmyr Gibbs is still not ready to discuss his contract negotiations publicly.

He may have delivered his most encouraging update yet without saying a word.

After Thursday's Detroit Lions training camp practice, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press asked Gibbs whether a new deal was close. Gibbs continued walking toward the team facility but responded by giving Birkett a thumbs-up.
