Montgomery Active Despite Illness, Manages Limited Production in Week 17 Loss

David Montgomery was officially active for the Lions' Week 17 game against the Vikings despite being questionable with an illness. He missed a walkthrough but had limited practice reps. Expected to handle his usual complementary role to Jahmyr Gibbs, Montgomery managed only 5 PPR points in the game. Despite a recent stretch of six games without double-digit carries, he has scored in three of his last four appearances, accumulating 241 yards from scrimmage and three rushing touchdowns on 43 touches over the last six contests.
