Good news for the #Lions: RB David Montgomery (shoulder) and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) are both active after being questionable.

Related Players: Jahmyr Gibbs, Jameson Williams, Tim Patrick

Good news, indeed. Montgomery should be fired up as an RB2, with ARSB as a WR1.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is facing a suspension. Again.

Williams is reportedly set to be suspended for two games for violating the NFL's Performance-Enhancing Substances policy, according to ESPN's Eric Woodyward.

Williams was also suspended for six games at the start of the 2023 season for violating the league's gambling policy when he made bets on sports at the Lions' facility, but not on the NFL, but the suspension was eventually reduced when the NFL changed its policy. He missed the first four games of the season, the story went on to say. With Williams out, Raymond, Williams and Patrick all move up the depth chart, but the Lions could end up giving more targets to TE LaPorta and RB Gibbs.

During Sunday’s win over the Vikings, Lions running back David Montgomery had to exit the contest in the first half due to a knee injury.

But Montgomery was able to come back in during the second half and contribute to the victory.

In his Monday news conference, head coach Dan Campbell said that there’s no long-term concern with Montgomery’s knee and he should be fine going forward, the story said. He was quoted as saying, “He’s good. Obviously, he had pain. And he knows it’s in that area around the knee. And it’s kind of in the back. So you’re trying to figure it out and it’s painful. And once we got him off, tested it, looked at it, he started feeling better." Monty was able to come back and had nine carries and three catches, but it was Gibbs who carried 15 times and added four receptions.

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs tells ESPN that he’s ready to go for Week 1.

According to the rest of the post, Gibbs said he feels about 98-100% after tweaking his hamstring during camp while running routes. Gibbs was quoted in the post as saying, “I’m good, just had a little tweak.” Woodyard's post went on to say Gibbs said he’s, “more confident overall” entering year two.

Campbell was quoted in the post saying about Gibbs, "He's trending the right way and we're hoping the day after the Pittsburgh game, we're gonna get a lot of guys back." Included in Campbell's quote, and also according to the post, is TE Laporta. Gibbs and LaPorta are both dealing with hamstring injuries.

Good news on Lions Pro Bowl RB Jahmyr Gibbs. Sources say the hamstring injury he suffered is not considered significant, but the team will be very cautious with rest and rehab to make sure he’s 100% healthy. My understanding is he should be ready for Week 1 vs the Rams.

It looks like the projected Gibbs/Montgomery split is still intact, making them both very fantasy-viable. If Gibbs were to miss anytime, Montgomery should be considered an RB1.

This will be worth monitoring until we find out just how serious this is. Hamstring injuries, of course, can be very tricky. If Gibbs has to miss any time or games to start the season, Montgomery would likely get a bulk of the work with Reynolds next up. The loss of the dynamic Gibbs would certainly change the Lions offensive attack. The rookie Vaki could get to see more time if Gibbs is out for a while.

Lions RB David Montgomery (ribs) does not have an injury designation for Sunday, and he will play.

Gibbs has been fantastic with his given opportunities, but Dan Cambell has made it abundantly clear that the team would prefer to move the ball through Montgomery in the early downs and near the goal line. Both will be RB2 options when sharing the field.

For much of this season, the Lions haven’t needed to decide how to split snaps between running backs David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs because the two haven’t been healthy at the same time. But that’s about to change, and Lions head coach Dan Campbell says both players will get plenty of opportunities.

Montgomery appears likely to return from his rib injury Sunday against the Chargers, and Gibbs is coming off his best game last week against the Raiders, the story said. When healthy, Montgomery has been the starter, and it appears that will remain the case for the rest of the season, the story added. The story also speculated Gibbs’ breakout game against the Raiders likely means he’ll get close to an equal workload going forward.
