David Montgomery Out with MCL Injury

Lions RB David Montgomery injured his right MCL in Sunday's loss to the Bills and will be out indefinitely. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that it's a tear and that Montgomery might be out through the playoffs. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports it as a sprain but adds that Montgomery will have further testing. Whatever the specific diagnosis and return timeline, it seems a pretty safe bet that Montgomery will miss the rest of the regular season.

Lions TE Sam LaPorta was knocked out of Sunday night's game vs. the Texans with a shoulder injury. HC Dan Campbell said afterward that LaPorta is believed to be dealing with an AC joint sprain but will undergo more testing on Monday. "It’s not something like he’s gonna be out four weeks. It’s like, maybe he’ll miss this week, we’ll see," Campbell added. We should get another update on LaPorta's status within the next 24 hours.

Lions TE Sam LaPorta has been diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "Relative good news," Fowler adds.
