David Montgomery Active Against Packers

David Montgomery Active Against Packers

one year ago

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (thigh), who was listed as questionable for the Thursday night game against the Green Bay Packers, is officially active for the Week 4 tilt. Montgomery suffered a bruised left thigh in the Week 2 game and was held out of last Sunday's convincing victory over the Atlanta Falcons. In the first two games of his Lions tenure, the 26-year-old split playing time with rookie Jahmyr Gibbs in the backfield and saw 37 carries for 141 yards and two touchdowns while adding just one catch for seven yards. Montgomery should have a role on Thursday night against Green Bay, but he could definitely take a back seat to Gibbs and have his snap count limited, making him a risky RB3/flex play in his return.
