TAMPA, Fla. — Two straight weeks of carrying the Detroit Lions offense may have finally caught up with David Montgomery.
Montgomery, who had 51 carries for 230 yards in wins over the Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers, left Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a rib injury.
Lions coach Dan Campbell said initial X-rays on Montgomery's ribs were negative, but the Lions running back is scheduled to undergo more tests Monday.
"I’d like to say I don’t think it’ll be some long-term issue, but I won’t know until tomorrow for sure," Campbell said after the game.
