Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell confirmed Monday that running back David Montgomery will be available for the Lions' Divisional Round matchup against the Washington Commanders this Saturday night. Montgomery, who has been dealing with a knee injury, will return to action as the Lions aim to advance in the 2024 NFL Playoffs.

A Huge Return for the Lions
“He's a tone-setter,” Campbell said about Montgomery’s impact on the team. “There’ll be a place for him in this game so it’ll be good to get him back.” The Lions have sorely missed Montgomery's physicality and leadership, and his return is expected to bolster the offense as they prepare for a tough playoff battle.
