In a surprising turn of events, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell revealed that running back David Montgomery is actively pursuing a third medical opinion regarding his knee injury—an ailment initially feared to be season-ending.

'David’s getting another opinion,' Campbell announced. 'He’s had a couple already, and we’re just waiting to see what this third one tells us. That's why we haven't placed him on injured reserve; we’re in a holding pattern right now.'

Earlier assessments led Campbell to believe that Montgomery’s injury would sideline him for the remainder of the year.

However, Campbell has now indicated that, depending on the stability of the knee and if Montgomery feels capable of playing, a return this season could still be on the table.

‘It’s one of those unique injuries where you need to determine stability.’

Montgomery, who joined the Lions this season, has already made significant contributions to the team, and losing him would be a heavy blow as the Lions are grappling with a string of injuries this year. Fans and analysts alike are now left hoping for some rare good news on the injury front.

As the Lions navigate this challenging season, Montgomery’s potential return could provide a much-needed boost.

With key matchups approaching, the team is in desperate need of any extra firepower to stay competitive in the heated NFC North playoff race. Stay tuned as this story develops—it may be the most thrilling comeback of the season!
