No preseason, no problem: NFL rookies shine in strange year Dozens of NFL rookies are breaking records and making significant impacts across the league this season
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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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 scrimmage and one TD per game.

Set to play Sunday Gibson (toe), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact 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. Gibson's status will receive additional clarity about 90 minutes before the 4:05 ET kickoff when Washington releases its list of inactives.

Could be game-time call Gibson (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact 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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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.

Puts in another limited practice Gibson (toe) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Impact 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 'limited' at 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.

Active at practice Wednesday Gibson (toe) participated in the walk-through portion of Wednesday's practice, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Impact 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.
Impact 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 usage as an early-down and short-yardage back.

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.
Impact 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. McKissic should serve as Washington's clear-cut top pass-catching back Week 15 while absorbing at least a handful of carries, leaving Peyton Barber to operate as the team's main short-yardage/goal-line back.

Doubtful for Sunday Gibson (toe) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Seattle, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Gibson returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, doing individual drills while the rest of the offense did team work on the other side of the field, per JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. While he hasn't officially been ruled out for the upcoming game, Gibson is more likely to make it back for Week 16 against the Panthers. Washington split backfield work between Peyton Barber and J.D. McKissic last week, with the former getting one more carry (12-11) and the latter one more target (4-3). Coach Ron Rivera told reporters Thursday that he's "very hopeful" Gibson will return before the end of the regular season, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
