Gibson (shin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Schefter relays that the running back spent the early part of the season playing with a hairline fracture in his shin, an injury Ben Standig of The Athletic reports that Gibson previously described as a stress fracture. Regardless, Gibson has displayed improvement of late and is feeling better as Week 7 action approaches. While Schefter notes that Gibson continues to deal with a bone bruise in his shin area, the 23-year-old -- who has played in all six of his team's games to date -- is confident that he'll be good to go in Green Bay. Official confirmation of his status will arrive prior to the first wave of contests Sunday, with Washington and the Packers kicking off at 1 p.m. ET.
