Lions keep Montgomery off IR, holding out hope another opinion on his knee injury clears him to play

Associated Press  

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Detroit Lions are holding out hope that running back David Montgomery might be able to return from what was believed to be a season-ending knee injury. “That’s a positive.” Campbell said Montgomery is getting another opinion on his knee injury, which occurred Sunday during the Lions’ 48-42 loss to the Bills. “We’re in a waiting mode.” The Lions placed defensive tackle Alim McNeill, cornerback Carlton Davis and special teams ace Khalil Dorsey on injured reserve on Tuesday, putting an NFL-high 21 players on IR. Detroit also signed cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver off its practice squad, adding depth at a position that took a hit with Davis’ jaw injury with a 26-year-old player that has 25 games of NFL experience.
