Lions’ RB Jahmyr Gibbs did not practice today due to his hamstring injury. WR Amon-Ra St. Brown was listed as limited.

Related Players: David Montgomery, Craig Reynolds

In an impressive Week 5 victory, Montgomery handled business as usual while Reynolds was able to rack up 52 yards and a touchdown on seven carries. Impressive work, but not enough to plug him into a lineup, even if Gibbs were to miss Week 6. This is Montgomery's backfield for the foreseeable future, and likely the remainder of the season.

Lions’ RB David Montgomery officially is active tonight. Lions’ G Halapoulivaati Vaitai and CB Emmanuel Moseley are not.

Montgomery is set to be the lead back, which shoots him back into the fringe RB2/3 consideration.

Lions RB David Montgomery (thigh), LT Taylor Decker (ankle) and CB Emmanuel Moseley (knee/hamstring) are all officially questionable for Thursday night vs. the Packers.

Rookie Jahmyr Gibbs had a fantastic role in his game without Montgomery, handling 18 opportunities for 82 total yards. If Montgomery is a go, he will very likely take back control of the majority of early-down snaps. If he's out, Gibbs is an RB1.

Lions HC Dan Campbell said that running back David Montgomery, who sat out Week 3 with a thigh injury, is moving toward getting back in the lineup this week.

With Montgomery out in Week 3, Gibbs got 17 carries and went for 80 yards. Reynolds and Knight each got three carries. If Monty is back for Week 4, a Thursday night game, expect him to go back to getting a bulk of the carries with Gibbs mixing in and perhaps getting more targets in the pass game. Gibbs had just one catch in Week 3. Montgomery carried 21 times in Week 1 and 16 in Week 2, scoring a TD in both games.

Lions RB David Montgomery (thigh) is doubtful for Sunday. WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (toe) is questionable, and LT Taylor Decker (ankle) is out again.

The Gibbs breakout game may be coming sooner than expected, but we imagine that the team will give Reynolds plenty of early-down run if Montgomery misses Week 3. Gibbs is currently ranked as the RB10 in 4for4's rankings.

Knight gets the call after Montgomery was injured in Week 2. Monty is considered day-to-day, but reports have said he could miss a couple of weeks, and the promotion of Knight could certainly indicate that. Gibbs and Reynolds should split the workload, but Knight will probably get some chances as well. He looked good enough with the Jets last year that if Monty does miss a few weeks, Knight could potentially work his way up to the RB2 slot.

Lions’ RB David Montgomery, who did not finish Sunday’s game and was limping after, told reporters he it would take “a couple weeks” for his quad injury to heal.

Gibbs should see a bump in touches but the Lions may not yet want to give him a bulk of the workload in terms of carries. Gibbs had seven receptions for 39 yards and added seven carries for 17 yards and should still remain highly involved in the passing game, but Reynolds could see his share of the carries Monty would normally get. We'll keep you posted about any kind of RB workload news as the week goes on.

As the Lions’ RB competition unfolded, there weren’t many players who separated themselves. Injuries to Jermar Jefferson and Mohamed Ibrahim didn’t help, and the sudden retirement of Justin Jackson came as a surprise. When Craig Reynolds got the bulk of the carries in the first half of the preseason, it felt like you could pencil him in as RB3. However, the Lions’ initial 53-man roster has just two true running backs: Montgomery and Gibbs.

Not that many were worried about either option coming off the field after they spent so much monetary and draft capital on the two, but it's still a relief to know they're not part of a three-back rotation. It sounds as if Reynolds could be back on the team, as he's not subject to waivers. There will likely eventually be an RB3 on the roster, but it's clearly an afterthought for the team.

D’Andre Swift was back in action for the first time in more than a month this past weekend. But the Detroit Lions running back wasn’t 100% while dealing with shoulder and ankle injuries.

And now, according to the story, head coach Dan Campbell openly regrets how much work the team gave Swift during the team’s loss against the Miami Dolphins in Week 8. Campbell told 97.1 The Ticket’s Stoney & Jansen that “he’s not back” and they should’ve spread more of Swift’s work around. Obviously this isn't great news for owners going forward as the Lions will likely reduce his workload until declared fully healthy. Be sure to monitor his practice status this week.
