On Monday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said that after sustaining a rib injury against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, running back David Montgomery will miss some time. Campbell did not rule out a trip to injured reserve for Montgomery.
Without a doubt, that’s a pretty significant blow to the Lions offense. Campbell had previously called Montgomery “a big piece of what we are and what we have offensively.” There will be an adjustment that has to be made.
Will they just feature a new back like Jahmyr Gibbs, who appears to be trending towards returning from his injury?
