It has been a tough season for Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery.
It is very clear that the Lions have been utilizing fellow back Jahmyr Gibbs more this season, which has greatly limited Montgomery's opportunities after he had a near 50/50 split with his backfield mate in recent years.
Montgomery is on pace to have another disappointing game in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles after a slow start.
Let's dive into the details.
Is David Montgomery playing tonight?
UPDATE: Montgomery got his first touch on the Lions' third drive. It was a carry that went for a handful of yards.
Yes, Montgomery is active, but he hasn't seen the field yet because the Lions haven't been able to sustain drives and Gibbs is getting the early snaps, per usual.
The Lions' first drive ended quickly after a Jared Goff pick, and then Detroit went three-and-out on its next series.
Sunday night is shaping up to be a quiet one for Montgomery.
