Sione Vaki Positioned as Lions' Lead Back If Gibbs Sidelined

Detroit Lions running back Sione Vaki stands ready as the team's likely lead back should teammate Jahmyr Gibbs be unable to play in Sunday's divisional clash against the Minnesota Vikings. Gibbs missed Wednesday's practice session due to a newly reported shoulder injury sustained in Week 7. While head coach Dan Campbell expressed low concern regarding Gibbs' status, Vaki would assume major offensive responsibilities if the star running back's absence extends.
