David Montgomery Expects To Miss "A Couple Weeks"

David Montgomery Expects To Miss "A Couple Weeks"

one year ago

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (quadriceps), who didn't finish the Week 2 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday after limping off, told reporters it would take "a couple weeks" for his quadriceps injury to heal. Montgomery was injured late in the third quarter of the 37-31 loss and never returned. Fantasy managers that had been starting the 26-year-old former Chicago Bear in the first two weeks will now have to go elsewhere for perhaps the next couple of weeks. Before leaving on Sunday, Monty had 16 carries for 67 yards and his second touchdown of the season while catching his only target for seven yards. Rookie first-rounder Jahmyr Gibbs will now definitely see his workload increase heading into a Week 3 meeting with the Atlanta Falcons, with Craig Reynolds likely to serve as his backup.
