The Detroit Lions are reportedly considering a position change for Jahmyr Gibbs in a desperate attempt to save their season.

Last Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers dropped Detroit to 7-5 on the season. Star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown left that game with an ankle injury, and his status for tomorrow’s game against the Dallas Cowboys is up in the air.

The Lions are already without star tight end Sam LaPorta, who’s expected to miss the rest of 2025. The 24-year-old LaPorta, who was on pace for a career year, recently underwent back surgery.

With the injuries piling up, the Lions are reportedly considering the idea of moving Jahmyr Gibbs to wide receiver.

Speaking on 105.3 The FAN in Dallas, Lions insider Dave Birkett indicated that Gibbs could line up at wide receiver against the Cowboys tomorrow night.

“That’s a very distinct possibility. He had a game earlier this year where he had 10-11 catches…they’ve certainly used him that way…They have two good playmakers and everyone else is just a guy. And that’s Jahmyr and Jameson Williams. And they need to get the ball in those guys’ hands as much as possible.”

If the Lions win on Thursday, they’ll be 8-5 and one game behind the 9-4 San Francisco 49ers for the NFC’s last wild card spot. With the 9-3 Chicago Bears visiting the 8-3-1 Green Bay Packers, it also helps Detroit, as one of them is guaranteed to lose.

Lions Can’t Just Rely On Jahmyr Gibbs

Gibbs is having another lights-out season with 1,019 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in 12 games. As a pass-catcher, he already has 51 receptions (two away from setting a new career high) for 397 yards and three touchdowns.

However, the fact is that Detroit isn’t getting much out of its other core players. Jared Goff has been shaky at best this season. Coming off a career year, Jameson Williams might not even reach the 1,000-yard mark this time.

The offensive line and pass defense have been atrocious, too. If not for the efforts of Aidan Hutchinson, there’s no telling how much worse Detroit’s defense would be.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
