Rapoport: David Montgomery (knee, IR) to play for Bears Monday night
Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (knee, IR) is expected to be activated for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, reports Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
What It Means:
Bears head coach Matt Nagy said over the weekend there was "a really good chance" that Montgomery would be activated for Monday night's game, but it still remains to be seen what his workload will look like. The Bears are on their bye next week, so they may just want to ease Montgomery back into the mix to see how he looks. Khalil Herbert has filled in as the Bears' lead back over the last four games with Montgomery sidelined.
numberFire's models currently project Herbert for 11.0 carries and Montgomery for 10.4 carries on Monday night. Montgomery has a $13,000 salary on FanDuel while Herbert has a $12,000 salary. The Steelers have the seventh-best run defense in our NFL Team Power Rankings.
