Detroit Lions fans can now feel relieved after a reassuring update from Ian Rapoport about star running back David Montgomery. After several days of medical consultations, reports suggest that the 27-year-old has avoided the feared season-ending surgery.
Montgomery, a vital component of the Lions’ explosive offense this season, had been sidelined due to what was initially thought to be a severe knee injury. The looming possibility of major surgery had cast doubt on the team’s ability to continue without him. However, following a thorough assessment, it seems Montgomery’s injury is not as severe as first believed.
Montgomery’s Postseason Chances Remain Alive
Although the exact timeline for Montgomery’s return remains uncertain, the news that he won’t require surgery has lifted spirits within the organization. Reports indicate he will now focus on rehabilitation with the hope of rejoining the team at some point during the postseason.
This development comes at a crucial moment for the Lions, who are striving for a top playoff position and aiming for a deep postseason run. Even a late return from Montgomery would greatly strengthen the team’s backfield and enhance their offensive depth
