Detroit Lions Get mind-blowing good News as ahead ofPlayoffs Approach on Saturday

Head coach Dan Campbell shared on January 13 that running back David Montgomery is expected to return for the playoff game against the Commanders. Campbell emphasized Montgomery’s importance to the team, calling him a “bell cow” and a “tone-setter.” He expressed that having Montgomery back on the field would be a huge boost for the Lions, especially as they prepare for the postseason.

Analysts, including Brad Berreman of SideLion Report, have echoed Campbell’s optimism, noting that Montgomery’s return could be pivotal for the Lions’ playoff push. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs had stepped up in Montgomery’s absence, recording impressive numbers, but having Montgomery back could elevate the team’s offensive performance even further.

In addition to Montgomery’s return, Campbell also mentioned that offensive guard Kevin Zeitler and cornerback Terrion Arnold are recovering well from their injuries. While there are no guarantees about their return, Campbell’s update suggests positive progress. The Lions will have a clearer picture of their injury status by January 14, just days before the game.

Campbell joked at the start of his press conference that the team didn’t suffer any injuries during the bye week, keeping the mood light ahead of their playoff preparations.
