The Bears are expected to activate David Montgomery from injured reserve before the game Monday, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports. Montgomery has been designated to return from injured reserve. The Bears have until 4 pm EST Sunday to decide whether or not to activate Montgomery and be able to play him Monday versus the Steelers.
Even if Montgomery is activated, he’s not expected to handle his usual workload as the Bears will play it safe with their top running back. Khalil Herbert may still have the most touches in this game as Damien Williams won’t play due to a knee injury.
