When David Montgomery and one of his trainers looked back at the video of his latest injury, they were in amazement that it wasn’t far worse.
“We looked at when the hit happened and the way it happened, there’s no way—if you look at the hit the way it happened—I didn’t tear my ACL,” Montgomery said during his media session on Tuesday.
Despite avoiding a torn ACL, Montgomery suffered a torn MCL, per reports. Montgomery called it an MCL sprain, essentially the same thing.
You may remember the viral videos of him deadlifting over 700 pounds, or Detroit Lions running backs coach Scottie Montgomery praising the veteran running back for putting in an unmatched amount of work in the spring.
