The Detroit Lions are trading running back David Montgomery to the Houston Texans for offensive lineman Juice Scruggs and two draft picks, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.
The Lions also will receive fourth- and sixth-round draft picks, the sources said.
Montgomery joins a backfield that includes Woody Marks, who rushed for 703 yards in 2025, his rookie season. Marks shared carries with veteran running back Nick Chubb, who is a pending free agent, before becoming the lead back later in the season.
