Bears RB David Montgomery's Week 18 Status Vs. Vikings Revealed: Injury Update And Game-Day Outlook
The Chicago Bears will face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18 of the NFL season. One of the key questions surrounding this matchup is the status of Bears running back David Montgomery. Montgomery suffered an ankle injury in Week 16 and missed the team's Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions. Here is the latest injury update and game-day outlook for Montgomery.
Injury Update
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Montgomery is expected to play in Week 18 against the Vikings. Rapoport reported that Montgomery "has been practicing all week and is trending towards playing." This is good news for the Bears, as Montgomery is one of their most important offensive players.
Game-Day Outlook
If Montgomery is able to play in Week 18, he will likely be the Bears' lead running back. Montgomery has been one of the most productive running backs in the NFL this season, rushing for over 1,100 yards and scoring nine touchdowns. He is expected to be a key part of the Bears' offense against the Vikings.
However, it is important to note that Montgomery is still dealing with an ankle injury. It is possible that he could be limited in some way on Sunday. If Montgomery is limited, the Bears could turn to Khalil Herbert or Trestan Ebner for more carries.
Fantasy Outlook
Montgomery is a must-start fantasy football player if he is able to play in Week 18. He is one of the most talented running backs in the NFL and has the potential to put up big numbers against the Vikings. However, fantasy owners should be aware that Montgomery is still dealing with an ankle injury and could be limited. If Montgomery is limited, fantasy owners may want to consider benching him and starting another running back.
Conclusion
David Montgomery is expected to play in Week 18 against the Vikings. However, he is still dealing with an ankle injury and could be limited. Fantasy owners should be aware of this and make sure to monitor Montgomery's status leading up to the game.
