The Detroit Lions face a significant setback as running back David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery due to a torn MCL. Head coach Dan Campbell expressed his disappointment, highlighting Montgomery's toughness and competitive spirit after he played through the injury during the recent game against the Buffalo Bills.

This injury adds to a growing list of casualties for the Lions, who, despite their strong 12-2 record, have been plagued by injuries. Key defensive players, including Aidan Hutchinson and Carlton Davis III, have also suffered season-ending injuries, further complicating the team's playoff aspirations.
