Bears News: Lions to potentially misses to key pieces of their offense
Montgomery entered this week with a shoulder injury that he suffered in the third quarter Colts. Many thought head coach Dan Campbell kept Montgomery out of the game because the Lions had victory in hand.
Now it seems that wasn't the cast and the injury could impact his play time against the Bears.
St. Brown also suffered his knee injury in the Lions victory over the Colts. The injury occurred while he was filling in for injured punt returner Kalif Raymond.
Both St. Brown and Montgomery are big parts of the Lions offense, so them both being listed as questionable is huge. Although some reports point to St. Brown playing there's a chance those may be incorrect.
Even if both players do suit up, their roles in the offense could be reduced. If that happens, the defense might actually have a shot a stop the Lions offense.
Pairing that with a surging offense and a hungry Caleb Williams that Bears may actually have a shot to pull of a Thanksgiving miracle. If that happens, it will be the first signature win of Williams NFL career.
