David Montgomery is practicing in full for Saturday's game against the Commanders.

This was the expectation since before the playoffs that Montgomery would be able to return for this round. He'll return to a committee alongside Jahmyr Gibbs.

Lions coach Dan Campbell said he expects David Montgomery to be ready for the Division Round.

After it was reported that Montgomery was out for the season, it was later updated that Montgomery could return for the playoffs. With Detroit earning the No. 1 seed, it'll get the bye week off with the hope that Montgomery returns for the Lions first playoff game.

Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery could return for a postseason run after receiving positive results on subsequent opinions on his knee injury, potentially avoiding a season-ending surgery and opting for rehab.

Fantasy Impact

Initially, fears seemed to be that Montgomery would undergo season-ending surgery on his MCL injury, but he could make a return. A timetable is not yet clear, but for fantasy playoff purposes, it likely will impact nothing. RB Jahmyr Gibbs should be the leader of the backfield down the stretch, and Montgomery could impact playoff DFS lineups if Detroit stays alive in the postseason.

Lions coach Dan Campbell said David Montgomery is getting another opinion on his knee injury before the team places him on IR.

Fantasy Impact

Montgomery is still likely out for the season, at least the regular season for fantasy managers at this point. He reportedly tore his MCL.
