There's hope in Detroit that injured Lions running back David Montgomery, who suffered a torn MCL in his right knee on Sunday, could return in the postseason, ESPN reported Thursday. Montgomery had been ruled out for the season on Monday and slated for surgery, but for now, he won't be placed on injured reserve following a third medical opinion. Per the report, the sixth-year running back "might have avoided season-ending surgery" after going down in Sunday's 48-42 loss to the visiting Buffalo Bills. On Wednesday, Lions coach Dan Campbell wasn't ready to rule out Montgomery, who leads the team this season with 12 rushing touchdowns.
