Discussion: How should Lions split workload of David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs?

This week, the Detroit Lions are expected to get running back David Montgomery back, and according to the veteran player, he’s not going to be physically limited in any way. Montgomery has missed the past three games with a torn MCL, leaving the bulk of the workload to second-year back Jahmyr Gibbs.

Gibbs has taken the opportunity and quite literally ran with it. In those three games, Gibbs has rushed for a total of 365 yards—with at least 100 in each game. Combined with his receiving production, Gibbs contributed 487 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns over that three-game stretch.
