With recent news that they will be without star running back David Montgomery for the foreseeable future, the Detroit Lions will need to explore other options at that position.
While the Lions still have second-year standout Jahmyr Gibbs and a reliable backup in Craig Reynolds, they still will need to sign another running back to round out their depth. They will not be able to replace Montgomery’s talent by any means, but there are players out there that can replicate his playing style and his fit on offense.
The best way to go about this for Detroit this late in the season is to sign a player off of another team’s practice squad.
