Lions' David Montgomery Exits Game With Shoulder Injury, Questionable to Return

The Detroit running back left during the third quarter against the Colts after a strong performance, raising concerns for the team's offense.

David Montgomery left the Week 12 game against the Indianapolis Colts with a shoulder injury and was listed as questionable to return.
Montgomery had already contributed a touchdown, 37 rushing yards on eight carries, and 36 receiving yards on three catches before his exit.
The injury occurred during a 14-yard reception in the third quarter, though details about the severity remain unclear.
Montgomery returned to the sideline with his gear back on after a brief absence but did not re-enter the game immediately.
Jahmyr Gibbs stepped up in Montgomery's absence, scoring two touchdowns and continuing the Lions' 'thunder and lightning' backfield dynamic.
