Returns to field Thursday

Gibson (shin) was spotted participating in position drills Thursday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

It remains to be seen how the team lists Gibson's participation level, but his presence at practice Thursday, in any capacity, is a step in the right direction for the running back after he sat out Wednesday's session. Though Gibson has been dealing with what's been described as as a stress fracture in his shin since Week 4, he's been able to suit up for Washington's three games since then.
