David Montgomery (groin) expected to play Sunday for Bears
Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (groin) is expected to play Sunday versus the Detroit Lions.
What It Means:
Montgomery suffered the injury in training camp, but has reportedly been able to participate in practices in a limited form and was upgraded to questionable on the injury report. While Ian Rapoport reports that the back is expected to receive a full workload, his touches will be something to monitor in Week 1.
The Lions should have a strong run defense this season, and the Bears are currently projected as 2.5-point dogs, meaning the even if Montgomery is fully healthy this week, expectations for his fantasy points should be lowered.
