Lions running back David Montgomery is still holding onto hope that he can play this season despite rumors of a season-ending surgery. However, coach Dan Campbell stated that Montgomery needs surgery, but Montgomery has not been placed on injured reserve yet.
In a video posted on the Lions’ social media, Montgomery expressed uncertainty about his situation and stated that “nothing is official” just yet. When asked if he could still play in this season, Montgomery replied that he hopes so. The 29-year-old running back recently participated in a coat drive for needy families in Detroit, showing a positive attitude towards his health.
The Lions are facing a brutal run of injuries and the news on Montgomery’s health would be a welcome relief to the team and its fans.
