Ahead of return, Lions RB Montgomery discusses progress

Ahead of return, Lions RB Montgomery shares value of faith, intense offseason...

Great story from our friend Justin Rogers. Fantastic approach by Monty, who confirms it was an MCL sprain, and his return on Saturday.

I watched Dmont’s interview yesterday and among some other great comments I heard him say that he and knee feel better right now than before the injury.
We’ll see. But that’s what he said.

He’s a pretty genuine guy, what you see is what you get. Really happy that they believed in him.

One of my all time favorite free agent signings, especially since he signed an extension.

Anzalone as well

A great snip it from the article.
“We looked at when the hit happened and the way it happened, there’s no way — if you look at the hit the way it happened — I didn’t tear my ACL,” Montgomery said. “But when people were laughing at me in the summer, saying, ‘Why is he deadlifting 800 pounds? Why is he doing all this crazy stuff?’ I’m like, it’s a fierce, crazy game. It’s grown men hitting each other at full speed. If you’re not strong and your body can’t take it, you’re not going to make it. So I’m blessed and I’m lucky to be standing here to be able to play right now.”

Montgomery is one of the players who set a tone for Detroit on the field and in the locker room. His position coach has said the veteran’s back’s work ethic and intensity elevate those around him. And when linebacker Alex Anzalone showed up to an offseason press conference, it wasn’t an accident he did so wearing a Montgomery t-shirt. Everyone in the building respects what he brings to the table. It’s why the team awarded Montgomery a contract extension in the middle of the season, more than a year before his current deal was set to expire.

Same. He said no knee brace, full go, no precautions. Monty said he heard he was having surgery on social media. Lol

What a clown show the media is these days. They reported he was done for the season and having surgery, shit we had 10 den threads on it. And the player hasn’t even heard that from a sports doctor. Youtube sports doctors are clowns. They are just guessing without seeing any tests, imaging or results.

Love his faith! Baby!!

And him crushing the squats to prepare for contact! You have to do this and he crushed it!

I know your trying to be funny, but Montgomery was only able to come back because he’s got electrolytes.
