A Injured MCL appeared to end David Montgomery’s season, and he is not active for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears, but the Detroit Lions running back could be back on the field next month if everything goes well. goes well.
According to NFL Network’s Ian RapoportMontgomery has sought further opinions and will not undergo surgery to repair his MCL. He will rehab his knee and hold out hope that he can return during the playoffs if the Lions make a deep run.
“Optimistic with a few doctors he’s seen, the last two,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Friday. “I think we can see where this thing is going to take us. It certainly seems more optimistic.
Montgomery was evaluated by coaches during the second quarter of 48-42 Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills. After testing his knee on the sidelines, Montgomery decided to return to the game. He finished the game with five carries for four yards.
Montgomery too injured his knee earlier this seasonin the first quarter of the Lions’ Week 6 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Although he was initially listed as questionable after being helped off the field, Montgomery returned to the game in the second quarter.
Here are the inactives for week 16.
