Lions' David Montgomery: Set to return Saturday
Montgomery (knee) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Commanders.
Montgomery hurt the MCL in his left knee during a Week 15 loss to the Bills, after which there was uncertainty about his potential to return this season. Ultimately, after he received numerous opinions regarding the issue, the Lions made the decision to not place him on injured reserve, giving him a chance to come back at some point in the postseason. The call was a fortuitous one after Detroit claimed the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and Montgomery will miss only three games as a result of the injury. It's unclear how much work he may scoop up alongside Jahmyr Gibbs on Saturday, but at the very least Montgomery likely will claim some of the early-down and short-yardage reps that have allowed him to compile 25 rushing touchdowns in 28 regular-season contests with the Lions.

Lions' David Montgomery: Gauged as full practice participant
The Lions listed Montgomery (knee) as a full participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Though the Lions didn't take the field for a traditional practice, the running back will seemingly be ready to go for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Commanders. Given that Montgomery missed the final three contests of the regular season due to an MCL sprain in his right knee, he could be asked to handle a more limited role out of the backfield in the Lions' postseason opener than he taken on prior to suffering the injury. Second-year tailback Jahmyr Gibbs thrived as the Lions' clear lead option out of the backfield to close out the regular season and still projects to get the larger share of the touches Saturday, though Montgomery's bruising running style and ability to contribute as a receiver will make him a welcome addition to the offense. Montgomery made 14 appearances during the regular season, gaining 775 rushing yards on 185 carries and 12 touchdowns while adding 36 catches for 341 yards on 38 targets.

Lions' David Montgomery: Expected back for divisional round
Head coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday that he expects to have Montgomery (knee) available for the Lions' first playoff game in the divisional round, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.
Montgomery initially looked to be at risk of missing the rest of the season after he suffered a left knee injury in a Week 15 loss to the Bills, but tests revealed just an MCL sprain and no other major structural damage. Per Jared Ramsey of the Detroit Free Press, Montgomery went through his first full workout since getting hurt this past Saturday, which included some change-of-pace work. With the Lions having clinched a first-round bye, Montgomery will benefit from another week off before Detroit takes the field again Jan. 18 or Jan. 19.
