Detroit Lions’ running back David Montgomery is risking a late-season return after suffering an injury, leaving his Super Bowl aspirations untouched. Despite the risk of not being healthy enough to make a difference, the possibility of returning has inspired Montgomery to keep the Lions’ chances of a playoff comeback alive. He isn’t the only Lion expected to make a late-season return, as defensive tackle Aidan Hutchinson is said to be on track for a potential return from a fractured tibia and fibula in time for the Super Bowl.
The Detroit Lions have been ravaged by injuries lately, which has put a strain on their defense. The potential loss of key players through injury would be a cruel blow to the team and their fans, who see them as one of the best clubs in the NFL. A late-season collapse would be devastating for Detroit, who have never reached the Super Bowl in their history.
Despite the danger, Montgomery is willing to take the risk in his pursuit of the Super Bowl. His decision to forgo immediate surgery and prioritize his return to the gridiron is a testament to his commitment to his teammates and the team’s aim to win the NFC crown.
