The Detroit Lions are utilizing backup running back Sione Vaki to help manage the workload of starter Jahmyr Gibbs. Vaki's increased playing time is intended to keep Gibbs fresh throughout the season.

It’s just the second time in Vaki's career that he’s played more than 20 offensive snaps and had at least five rush attempts. The Lions hope his development continues as an answer to find more breathers for Gibbs.
