The Detroit Lions' Sunday matchup against the Minnesota Vikings just took a devastating turn, as running back David Montgomery has been left hobbled with a knee injury.
The incident occurred during the first quarter of the game, and while the full extent of the damage is not yet known, the Lions' medical staff have already listed Montgomery as questionable to return.
This development is sure to send shockwaves through the Lions' organization, as Montgomery has been a crucial cog in the team's high-powered offense.
Montgomery, who was signed in the offseason to bolster the Lions' backfield, has been impressive thus far this season, showcasing his versatility as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield.
His potential absence would not only impact the Lions' backfield but also raise questions about the overall makeup of the team's offense.
With Montgomery out, the onus will fall on the shoulders of backup running back Jamaal Williams to shoulder the load and help the Lions maintain their momentum against the Vikings.
The Lions' next few possessions will be crucial in determining whether they can still cling to their chances of victory without their star running back.
Fans will be eagerly awaiting word on the full extent of Montgomery's injury, as this news could have massive implications for the remainder of the season.
Stay tuned for further updates as this story continues to unfold.
