ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery was a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice at the Meijer Performance Center. As the top-seeded Lions prepare to host the Washington Commanders on Saturday night at Ford Field, Montgomery said he is excited to return for the divisional round after missing Detroit's final three regular-season games with an MCL injury.
"It's refreshing," Montgomery said. "Kind of to be back in the position to where I can help the team, yeah, I missed it, so happy to be back."
Montgomery was also a key contributor for the Lions in last year's playoff run to the NFC championship game, rushing for 183 yards in three games, the most in one postseason in franchise history.
