Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Logs seven carries in Week 1
Antonio Gibson carried seven times for 18 yards in the New England Patriots' 16-10 season-opening win over the Bengals on Sunday.Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Gibson -- who headed into the weekend listed as questionable with a hip issue -- logged 14 of a possible 65 snaps on offense in the contest, while top back Rhamondre Stevenson was out there for 51 snaps en route to 25 carries for 120 yards and a TD. Though Gibson wasn't targeted by Jacoby Brissett in Week 1, the former Commander should see some involvement as a pass-catcher in the coming weeks. Gibson's fantasy ceiling figures to remain modest as long as Stevenson remains available, however.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Suits up Sunday
Antonio Gibson (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.Gibson finished up the practice week with limited participation in both Thursday and Friday's sessions before being listed as questionable. With his Week 1 availability confirmed, Gibson is in line to work in a change-of-pace capacity behind Rhamondre Stevenson, a role that could result in the 26-year-old yielding a degree of fantasy utility in deeper PPR formats over the course of his first campaign with New England.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Plans to play Week 1
Antonio Gibson (hip), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, plans to play, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.Gibson was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday, but the New England Patriots apparently saw enough from the running back to be convinced that he'll be ready to go. Assuming he avoids the inactive list -- which will be released 90 minutes before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff -- Gibson will likely work in a complementary role behind Rhamondre Stevenson. Most of Gibson's usage is expected to come on passing downs.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Questionable but optimistic
Antonio Gibson (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, but Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports that the running back is optimistic he'll be able to play.Gibson closed out the week with limited participation in practice Thursday and Friday. If he's able to play, Gibson is expected to work in a change-of-pace role behind Rhamondre Stevenson, mixing in primarily for passing situations. JaMycal Hasty would be the next man up for backup duties if Gibson has a setback.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Limited with hip injury
Antonio Gibson (hip) was added to Thursday's injury report as a limited participant in practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.Gibson practiced in full Wednesday, so it appears his current hip injury is a new issue. The backup running back will have one more chance to upgrade his practice level ahead of Sunday's regular-season opener against the Bengals. If Gibson were to miss any time, JaMycal Hasty would stand to step in as the No. 2 option behind starter Rhamondre Stevenson.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Closes preseason with four touches
Antonio Gibson carried the ball three times for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Commanders. He added one reception (on two targets) for 13 yards.Gibson was the first back in the game for the New England Patriots with Rhamondre Stevenson sitting out. He played only one offensive drive with Jacoby Brissett (shoulder) under center and got touches on four of the first five offensive plays. Gibson will enter the regular season as the second back on the depth chart, and he should get plenty of work in obvious passing situations while occasionally spelling Stevenson on the ground.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Five touches in preseason opener
Antonio Gibson rushed four times for four yards and brought in his only target for 13 yards in the New England Patriots' 17-3 preseason win over the Panthers on Thursday.The veteran back's team debut included the distinction of being on the receiving end of rookie third overall pick Drake Maye's first professional completion. Gibson unsurprisingly ceded the first series to Rhamondre Stevenson, who's projected to serve as the Patriots' clear lead back this coming season while the former acts in more of a third-down/pass-catching capacity.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Back at practice
Antonio Gibson (undisclosed) returned to practice Thursday, Paul Perillo of the New England Patriots' official site reports.Coach Jerod Mayo indicated Wednesday that Gibson wasn't expected to be out long term, and indeed the running back's stint on the active/non-football injury list was abbreviated. Now that he's back at practice, Gibson is poised to work in a key complementary role in the Patriots backfield alongside incumbent starter Rhamondre Stevenson. In that capacity, Gibson should have an opportunity to maintain a degree of fantasy value, considering that the team could lean on the ground game early on this season with a new QB -- either Jacoby Brissett or Drake Maye -- in line to get the Week 1 starting nod.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Shouldn't be out long
New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo said Wednesday that Antonio Gibson (undisclosed) should return to practice "relatively soon," Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.Gibson is on the non-football injury/illness list for the start of training camp, after seemingly being a full participant in the offseason program. He'll presumably be the No. 2 running back once he's ready to practice, having signed with the Patriots in March on three-year, $11.25 million contract that includes $5.3 million guaranteed. It's good money by backup running back standards, and while Gibson will likely get most of his playing time on passing downs initially, his combination of size (six-foot, 228 pounds) and lead-back experience (258 carries in 2021) means there's potential for large workloads if starter Rhamondre Stevenson misses games.

Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Lands on NFI list
Antonio Gibson (undisclosed) has been placed on the New England Patriots' active/non-football injury list, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.Gibson's unspecified issue will prevent him from practicing as training camp commences, but once he's cleared to re-take the field, he'll work toward cementing a key complementary role in New England's backfield alongside returning starter Rhamondre Stevenson. Given that the Patriots are slated to start the season with a new top quarterback (either Jacoby Brissett or Drake Maye) and that there's uncertainly with regard to how the team's pass-catching corps will shake out, it's reasonable to expect that a ground game featuring Stevenson and Gibson could pace the attack early on in the 2024 campaign.
