Lions injury update: David Montgomery (knee) is expected to return in the divisional round

With a 15-2 record in 2024, the Lions finished as the #1 seed in the NFC. That gave Detroit a much-needed bye in the wildcard round. The Lions have had injuries all across the board in 2024. However, the team hasn’t waivered and can still play at a championship level with backups filling in. 

Detroit only lost two games in 2024 and one of them was to the Buffalo Bills, 48-42 in Week 15. During that loss, starting RB David Montgomery suffered an MCL injury. After receiving three medical opinions, the veteran RB decided that rehab over surgery was the best option. Montgomery missed the final three regular season games for the Lions in 2024. After resting and rehabbing his knee for the last month, Montgomery will make his return in the divisional round barring a setback.
