Lions RB David Montgomery Sidelined Indefinitely

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery has suffered an MCL injury during the team's recent loss to the Buffalo Bills, leaving him out indefinitely and potentially sidelining him for the rest of the season. This injury adds to the Lions' already significant injury woes, which include key defensive players like Carlton Davis and Alim McNeill. Montgomery, who has been a vital part of the Lions' offense, rushing for 775 yards this season, will undergo further testing to determine the severity of his injury. Head coach Dan Campbell noted that the team struggled to establish their run game during the game, which was compounded by Montgomery's limited usage due to the injury. Jahmyr Gibbs is expected to take on a larger role in the backfield, supported by Craig Reynolds and Sione Vaki. The Lions, currently at 12-2, face challenges as they aim for a playoff run amidst these injuries.
