Add yet another important player to the Lions’ long list of injuries.
Lions running back David Montgomery has an injury to the MCL in his knee and could miss the rest of the season, according to multiple reports. Montgomery was seen getting his knee looked at during Sunday’s game, but he continued playing through the injury.
Montgomery will get more testing before a final diagnosis is made, but the Lions have to be concerned about Montgomery, whom they view as both one of their most important players and one of their most important team leaders.
The Lions are 12-2 despite the incredible toll injuries have taken on them this season, but their injury-riddled defense had no answer for the Bills on Sunday, and now in Montgomery they’ve seen a big part of their offense get hurt. With three games left in the regular season, the team that once appeared to be a heavy favorite to earn the NFC No. 1 seed may be a wild card just fighting for survival by the time the players start.
