I saw he was assisted of the field. Looked to be in a lot of pain. Anybody know anything more about David's status?
Montgomery injury

I read last night that they’ll do an mri today but are hopeful he dodged a season ending injury.
Last night they were thinking it is a sprained MCL. Hopefully the MRI comes back without tears.
That sucks, he was really looking good this year.
True although I'm glad it wasn't worse and should be something he can come back from. The ACL tears etc. I think tend to be career enders.
5th place in rushing yards and tied for 5th in rushing TDs when he went out with the injury...on a basically dysfunctional offense.
Poor guy hasn't caught many breaks with his O lines. I'd love to see how many yards he could get if he could consistently get even 2 yards without having to break a tackle.
It's basically looked like a high school offense: give it to the good player and let them work.
I remember when Tyrese got drafted by the Kings everyone was doom and gloom like no player could ever do well with the Kings...I was thinking "you all realize our best running back in decades just got drafted by the worst offense of the past 30 years in the NFL right?".
He thrives off the contact and builds momentum the more tackles he can break. I don't know that his rushing numbers would look much different if he had bigger holes to run through.
I'll go ahead and argue that any running back with more space to run than what DM has is going to get more yardage.
For an example, find a play in which is has blocking. He gets more yardage.
There is absolutely no question in my mind that a running back of any style will gain more yards when going more yards untouched.
We will probably never find out. DM is cursed to always play behind average to poor O-lines I'm afraid.
