5. Quinnen Williams was asked about Detroit’s offense, and he gave Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs some glowing praise.
“They got one of the best running backs of all time, to me, because he came from Alabama also,” Williams, a fellow Alabama alum, said. “Going against an explosive guy, and the two they have, but especially Jahmyr, is definitely a great challenge.”
6. Schottenheimer was also very complimentary of the abilities of both Gibbs and David Montgomery. He said he loved Gibbs coming out of Alabama in 2023 and Gibbs was one of his favorite interviews in the entire pre-draft process at the Combine. Schottenheimer thinks it’s a really cool balance that the Lions have with their running game in terms of Gibbs’ speed and Montgomery’s physicality.
“They are a very dynamic one-two punch,” he said.
7. The Cowboys opened All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs’ 21-day practice window this week after a recent stint on IR with a concussion and knee injury. Diggs has not played since Dallas’ Week 6 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 12. Could Diggs return to the lineup as soon as Thursday?
“He’ll be on the field. Wanted to be on the field last night (Thanksgiving) but he’ll be on the field at Detroit in my view barring a (setback),” Dallas owner, president and GM Jerry Jones said on his 105.3 The Fan segment last Friday.
