David Montgomery Injury Update: How Can Jahmyr Gibbs Be Impacted?

David Montgomery might be sidelined for a while, creating a potential vacuum in the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/article/nfc-north-futures-odds-lions-roar-packers-show-promise-and-bears-stumble">Detroit Lions</a>&#8216; backfield. The Lions&#8217; head coach, Dan Campbell, said Montgomery could be out for a week or two. With Montgomery out, who will step up and fill the void?

While it seems enticing to assume it&#8217;s Jahmyr Gibbs&#8217;s moment to shine, Campbell has preferred a committee approach, typically rotating between two to three running backs. This pattern prompts the question: Does Craig Reynolds return to the limelight?
When handed the ball, Reynolds has had his moments, providing a productive output. Given his history and the current situation, there&#8217;s no denying he&#8217;s a favorite. Furthermore, the Lions boast an excellent offensive line, even though they have recently faced a slew of injuries. Taylor Decker, for instance, did not play Week 2 due to an injury, emphasizing the need to keep the O-line healthy. They&#8217;re essential for the running game, particularly as they&#8217;re regarded as one of the best run-blocking units when they play together.
Given these circumstances, it&#8217;s anticipated that Reynolds will receive a substantial amount of the ball. The Lions are unlikely to place the entire weight on Gibbs, especially in these early stages of the season. As they grow accustomed to Gibbs&#8217;s presence on the field, we might witness him taking up a more substantial role. However, for now, it appears Reynolds will play an integral part in the team&#8217;s strategy.
Regarding receiving options, the Lions are showcasing a broader range of talent than initially expected. Kalif Raymond and Josh Reynolds have had their breakout moments this season, proving that the Lions aren&#8217;t just relying on two or three key players.
This week presents a promising matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, providing a golden opportunity for the Lions&#8217; running game and the entire offense, especially at home.
