Campbell: David Montgomery (ribs) to miss "a little bit" of time for Lions
Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery is set to miss "a little bit" of time, according to head coach Dan Campbell.
What It Means:
Montgomery's X-rays on his ribs came back negative on Sunday. However, it appears further testing revealed an injury to the rusher's rib cartilage. While Campbell was incredibly vague about a timetable, it seems a very real possibility that Montgomery is out until after the team's Week 9 bye. Jahmyr Gibbs has been out the last couple weeks due to a hamstring injury, so Craig Reynolds and Devine Ozigbo are the healthy backs on the roster. Kalif Raymond also saw snaps in the backfield in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay.
In 5 games this season, Montgomery has 94 carries for 385 yards and 6 touchdowns. He has also caught 6 of his 10 targets for 66 yards. He's averaging 16.4 FanDuel points.
