Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery missed the team's final three games of the regular season due to a knee injury. However, the Lions running back is expected to make his return when the Lions play their first playoff game next week.

The Lions are getting one of their top offensive players back for their postseason run while they're keeping the door open for their top defensive player to return.

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery will miss his third straight game with injured knee. Jahmyr Gibbs will be the lead back against Vikings.
