Bears Designate RB David Montgomery to Return From IR

The Bears' offense could receive a boost for their Week 9 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. On Thursday, head coach Matt Nagy announced running back David Montgomery has been designated to return from injured reserve.

Montgomery isn't a lock to suit up Monday night against the Steelers, but the decision to designate him to return from injured reserve opens up a 21-day practice window for him.

Chicago has been without Montgomery since Week 4, when he suffered an MCL sprain in a victory over the Detroit Lions.

During Thursday's press conference, Nagy commented on Montgomery's recovery process and what he'll bring to the offense for the second half of the regular season.
