Detroit Lions
In a tough break for the Detroit Lions, star running back David Montgomery went down with what appeared to be a leg injury early in today’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. The injury occurred on a critical 3rd-and-1 run during the first quarter, where Montgomery was stopped short of the first down, but the real concern came as he was helped off the field, putting minimal weight on his left leg.
Montgomery has been a key component of the Lions’ offensive attack this season, consistently delivering big plays and providing stability in the run game. His absence could spell trouble for a Detroit team that is already trailing 7-0 in this important divisional matchup. With their ground game taking a hit and the Vikings’ defense applying pressure, the Lions will need to dig deep and find a way to overcome this early adversity.

Ford Field, which had been buzzing with excitement before the game, turned quiet as fans anxiously awaited further updates on Montgomery’s condition. While the severity of the injury is not yet known, the sight of one of their offensive leaders being assisted off the field is a cause for concern.
As the Lions work to adjust their game plan, all eyes will be on Montgomery’s status and whether he can make a quick return to the lineup. Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available throughout the game.
