GREEN BAY, Wis. — David Montgomery made the decision on Wednesday night.
Even though he was dealing with a thigh bruise.
Even though everything was up in the air.
Montgomery decided to play against the Green Bay Packers.
“Yeah, it hurt a little bit, but it's all good,” Montgomery said after willing himself through 32 carries, 121 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Detroit Lions to a 34-20 victory at Lambeau Field.
Just as left tackle Taylor Decker willed himself through that game, despite a high ankle sprain and bone bruise.
