Lions RB David Montgomery: To take 'couple weeks' to heal

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery, who did not finish Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks and was limping after, told reporters afterward it would take "a couple weeks" for his thigh injury to heal.

He otherwise declined comment.

Montgomery was carted to the locker room with his injury at the start of the fourth quarter in the Lions' 37-31 overtime loss to the Seahawks. He rode the cart with his right leg wrapped underneath an ice pack.

"It looks like a thigh bruise. I'll know more [Monday]," Lions coach Dan Campbell said after the game.
