Where Sione Vaki fits in the Detroit Lions backfield
Jahmyr Gibbs starts and Jacob Saylors is our published next man up. Sione Vaki sits further down the room, so his status matters most in a week when one of them is also unavailable.
Injury history
2026: missed most of training camp and all of preseason with a broken nose and an eye injury; healthy and active in Weeks 1-2. Converted safety with limited offensive exposure in 2024-2025 and no prior long absence.
