Jahmyr Gibbs did not practise Wednesday with a shoulder injury but practised in full Thursday. He has no game status heading into Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.

Gibbs remains the RB1 overall for Week 8. He saw 29 carries and six targets in Week 7 against Green Bay, playing 90 per cent of snaps. A full practice Thursday is a good sign, though not a guarantee he plays. Monitor Friday's injury report for final confirmation of his availability.

His 2.0 carries inside the five a game over the last three weeks ranks fourth of 105 backs, and his 6.0 carries inside the 20 ranks first of 105.
