Campbell: Lions 'starting to feel pretty good' about the Week 4 status of David Montgomery (thigh)
According to head coach Dan Campbell, Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (thigh) is "trending in the right direction" to play in Week 4's game against the Green Bay Packers.
What It Means:
Per Campbell, Montgomery and left tackle Taylor Decker are the two Lions that he feels "pretty good about." If both are available, their returns would boost a Detroit rushing attack versus a Green Bay defense ranked 24th in FanDuel points allowed (25.9) per game to running backs.
If Montgomery is unable to go, expect Jahmyr Gibbs to see the majority of Detroit's carries after he logged 54% (17 of 31) of their carries in Week 2.
