David Montgomery Opts for Rehab on Knee Injury

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery has opted for rehabilitation rather than surgery on his MCL injury, hoping to return in time for the playoffs. This decision follows consultations with multiple medical experts after he sustained the injury during a recent game against the Buffalo Bills. Montgomery, who has contributed significantly to the team's offensive success with 775 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns this season, aims to support the Lions as they pursue a strong postseason run. Additionally, the team has been plagued by injuries, placing several players on injured reserve, yet they remain optimistic about their Super Bowl aspirations. Montgomery expressed his positivity about potentially returning, stating, 'we're just staying positive and praying.' His teammate Aidan Hutchinson also indicated he is working towards a late-season comeback.
