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.

Montgomery opted to rehab a knee injury instead of undergoing season-ending surgery in hopes of returning for the playoffs.

(CBS DETROIT) - Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery may be back in time for the divisional round later this month, head coach Dan Campbell said on Tuesday.
