In the NFC Divisional Round, coach Dan Campbell’s Detroit Lions will play the Washington Commanders. The Lions lost key players at various points during the season, notably defensive corner Aidan Hutchinson and offensive running back David Montgomery, even though they were still the top seed in the NFC during the regular season.
David Montgomery missed the last three games of the season due to a torn medial collateral ligament, which he sustained during the Buffalo Bills game. The guy is a premium reinforcement for the Lions’ offense, though, as he has stated that he is prepared to return for this postseason.
The running back took part in the team’s practice on Tuesday. Head coach Dan Campbell said the injury would be the running back’s final game, therefore the outlook was not good.
In order to qualify for the playoffs, Montgomery decided against having surgery and instead concentrated on healing his knee.
Montgomery told reporters, “Trying to get back into a position where I can help the team is refreshing.” “I’m sure, and if I weren’t prepared, I wouldn’t be there.”
David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, the Lions’ formidable ground tandem, will once again lead the team to sixth position in the NFL in terms of average rushing yards per game.
