What happened: Neither Jahmyr Gibbs nor Bijan Robinson practiced Wednesday after offseason conversations about potential long-term contracts. Fifth-year options already keep each player under contract through the 2027 season.
Why it matters: The simultaneous negotiations could let the first completed extension establish a benchmark for the other. Sitting out practice also shifts early camp work away from two of the league's most productive backs.
By the numbers: In 2025, Robinson rushed for 1,478 yards and seven touchdowns, while Gibbs produced 1,223 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns.
What to watch: Watch whether either player returns to practice or reaches a long-term agreement as preseason work approaches.
