EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old did not appear limited in the Patriots' Week 18 game against Miami, totalling his usual snap share (47) behind starter Christian Elliss. Gibbens' status for Sunday's wild-card matchup will likely depend on his participation in practice Thursday and Friday.

Gibbens registered 10 tackles (three solo), including one tackle for a loss, and a quarterback hit during the Patriots' 28-24 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gibbens logged double-digit tackles for the third time this season and played every single defensive snap for a second consecutive game. He has started in each of the Patriots' last two games due to the absence of Robert Spillane (ankle), and the former could start against the Jets on Sunday if the latter is not cleared to play. Gibbens is up to 71 tackles (38 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses across 15 regular-season games in his first year in New England.

Gibbens logged nine tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, Sunday in a loss to the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Gibbens likely tweaked his hamstring during the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, when he logged 10 tackles (five solo) and a pass defense. With the Patriots operating on a short week, the fourth-year pro will have two more chances to practice in full and avoid an injury designation heading into Thursday's game against the Jets.

Gibbens recorded 10 total tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Gibbens was thrust into a starting role at inside linebacker with Christian Elliss (hip) unavailable, leading the team in stops in the victory. Gibbens had compiled just 13 total tackles over the last five games combined, so he certainly made the most of his opportunity. On the year, the linebacker is now up to 40 total tackles (23 solo) and two passes defensed over 10 games.

Gibbens recorded three solo tackles during the Patriots' win versus the Bills on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gibbens posted 12 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 42-13 victory versus the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Of Gibbens' 12 tackles, nine came on defensive plays and three on special teams. Remarkably, he achieved the impressive tally despite playing on less than half of the Patriots' defensive snaps. Prior to Sunday, Gibbens had totaled just five stops across three games.
