Bears running back David Montgomery left their game against the Texans halfway through the first quarter after appearing to injure his right knee.
Montgomery was tended to by team doctors after being knocked to the ground on a pass play that ended in offsetting penalties. He eventually walked off under his own power, albeit gingerly, and directly to the blue medical tent on the Bears’ sideline. He was then led to the Bears’ locker room.
Montgomery was replaced by Khalil Herbert, who put on a show. His first carry went for eight yards and his next two for 11 apiece.
