On Monday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said running back David Montgomery’s season was likely over as his MCL injury was headed toward surgery.
On Wednesday, the tune was very different.
After the Lions opted not to place Montgomery on injured reserve Tuesday, Campbell explained that the running back is seeking a third medical opinion on his injury and they’re leaving the window open for a potential return.
“David’s getting another opinion,” Campbell said. “So he’s had a couple, and really just see(ing) what this third one says. That’s why we have not put him on injured reserve.
