Source: Lions eye playoff return for Montgomery
Briefly

"It's about rehabbing and going from there," the source said, indicating that despite initial fears of a serious injury to David Montgomery, recent assessments suggest he might avoid season-ending surgery and could return during the playoffs.
"It is one of these injuries that's unique because you need to know is it stable? OK, is it fixed, or will it scar?" Campbell explained that the team's medical decisions are heavily dependent on stability and Montgomery's own input on his recovery.
With a league-high 21 players on injured reserve, including 16 defensive players, the Lions have faced significant injury challenges this season, complicating their playoff hopes and overall roster stability.
"So, it's a combination certainly the doctors then him as well, where he thinks he can go with it and can he protect himself and play at a high level," Campbell added, highlighting the collaborative nature of injury management in the league.
