Gets 17 touches in loss
Montgomery rushed 14 times for 79 yards and caught three of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Montgomery helped set up a field goal on the opening drive with a 26-yard catch and run. That was his biggest play on this slick Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium, but Montgomery churned out hard yards throughout to keep a Bears offense playing without Justin Fields (shoulder) in manageable third downs. Regardless of Fields' status for Week 13 against the Packers, Montgomery will be in line for plenty of touches.

Finds end zone in lead role
Montgomery rushed 17 times for 67 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: With Khalil Herbert (hip) on injured reserve, Montgomery operated as the workhorse in Chicago's backfield, though quarterback Justin Fields led the team in both rushing attempts (18) and rushing yards (85). Fields ran in a four-yard touchdown in the second quarter, but Montgomery scored one of his own from two yards out in the fourth to tie the score at 24-24 with 8:16 to go. Montgomery also led the Bears in receiving yards thanks to a 32-yard catch on the same drive as his rushing touchdown.…read more

Quiet in Week 11 loss
Montgomery carried the ball nine times for 37 yards and caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: With Justin Fields once again running wild, there wasn't a big workload available for Montgomery, and he failed to reach 50 scrimmage yards for the second straight game. Khalil Herbert suffered a hip injury late in the contest after gaining 57 yards on 10 carries, however, so Montgomery could have the running back touches to himself in Week 11 against the Falcons.

Paces backfield in carries
Montgomery rushed 14 times for 36 yards and brought in one of two targets for eight yards in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Despite having been the subject of trade rumors leading up to Tuesday's deadline, Montgomery ultimately stayed put in the Windy City and ended up pacing the Bears backfield in carries. Montgomery's workload on the ground actually doubled up that of backfield mate Khalil Herbert, and he was the only one of the two to see a target. Chicago's ground-game usage has been difficult to predict game to game, however, so it remains to be seen if the distribution will remain the same in a Week 10 home…read more

Inefficient on ground
Montgomery rushed 15 times for 53 yards and caught three passes for 22 yards in the Bears' 49-29 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Analysis: Montgomery had one fewer carry than Khalil Herbert against Dallas. Since Week 2, Montgomery has not topped 15 carries in a game, and he's lost his grip on the undisputed lead backfield role in the last two games. He's posted between 62 and 80 scrimmage yards during those two games, so he's still demonstrating a solid scoring floor, but he'll need to hang onto at least a near-even split in work to retain his current level of productivity.

Narrowly leads backfield
Montgomery rushed the ball 15 times for 62 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-14 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: The Bears' backfield came very close to an even split, as Montgomery out-touched Khalil Herbert only 15-13. Montgomery ran fairly effectively, though the majority of his production came early in the fourth quarter on a drive during which he tallied his longest rush of the day -- 12 yards -- and also found the end zone from one yard away. With the performance, Montgomery topped 60 rushing yards in a game for only the second time this season, and he appears to be headed for a split in workload…read more

Solid night in loss
Montgomery rushed 15 times for 67 yards and brought in his only target for 13 yards in the Bears' 12-7 loss to the Commanders on Thursday night. He also recovered a fumble.
Analysis: Montgomery was once again the clear lead back in the Bears' ground attack, although Khalil Herbert actually outgained him with 75 yards -- 64 of those coming on one run. Montgomery's contributions were much steadier, and the third-year back was appreciably more efficient than in his Week 5 return from an ankle injury (12 carries, 20 yards). He'll now have extra time to recover from a busy last four days, as Chicago won't return to action until a Week 7 Monday night road matchup against the…read more

Productive in return
Montgomery rushed 12 times for 20 yards and a touchdown and caught all four of his targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Montgomery returned from last week's injury absence to score his first touchdown of the campaign with a nine-yard rush during the second quarter. Despite his ankle limiting him during the practice week, Montgomery still led Chicago's backfield, with backup Khalil Herbert garnering just four carries for 11 yards. Furthermore, with help from a long gain of 30 yards, Montgomery paced the Bears through the air, contributing a strong all-around showing after his brief sideline stint.

Suiting up in Week 5
Montgomery (ankle) is listed as active Sunday in Minnesota.
Analysis: Since making an early departure Week 3 against the Texans, Montgomery has missed one game and was unable to mix into drills until Thursday of Week 5 prep. He ended this week with back-to-back limited practices, seemingly setting himself up to return, and he indeed will be available Sunday. Montgomery's role is uncertain, though, especially after Khalil Herbert impressed in place of the former over the last seven quarters of play. On the season, Montgomery has reeled off 4.5 YPC on his 35 rushes…read more

Optimism for Week 5 return
The Bears are optimistic that Montgomery (ankle), who is listed as questionable, will play Sunday against the Vikings, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Montgomery was ruled out for Week 4 and was listed with ankle and knee injuries, but he appears to have moved past the knee issue after being listed with only an ankle injury leading up to Week 5. The fourth-year running back logged limited sessions Thursday and Friday after not practicing Wednesday and appears in line to return to game action after missing just one contest. Regardless, fantasy managers should still confirm his status ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. It's possible the Bears…read more

Questionable to face Vikings
Montgomery (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Minnesota.
Analysis: Montgomery was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, potentially setting up a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Possibilities include Montgomery returning but in a less dominant role, after Khalil Herbert again proved himself to be one of the better backup RBs in the league the past two weeks. The Bears have Trestan Ebner to spell Herbert if Montgomery misses a second straight game after spraining his ankle early in the Week 3 contest.

Limited in return to practice
Montgomery (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Analysis: This marks Montgomery's first on-field work since injuring his right ankle Week 3 against the Texans. It remains to be seen if he'll make enough progress to return to action Sunday at Minnesota, but Friday's practice report may be telling for his availability. If Montgomery is limited or out this weekend, Khalil Herbert would be the main beneficiary in the Bears backfield, with Trestan Ebner on hand for touches as well.

Not practicing Wednesday
Montgomery (ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Montgomery didn't practice last week due to knee and ankle injuries on his right leg before sitting out the Bears' eventual Week 4 loss to the Giants. This time around, he's only listed with an ankle issue, but it's still keeping him out of drills. Montgomery will have two more chances to get on the field this week, at which point the team may make a ruling on his availability for Sunday's game at Minnesota. If Montgomery requires another absence this weekend, Khalil Herbert will be the primary…read more

Out this week
Montgomery (ankle/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Montgomery hasn't practiced since his early exit from a Week 3 win over Houston. His departure set up a career-best showing from Khalil Herbert, who is inferior to Montgomery as a blocker and receiver but arguably superior as a pure runner. Trestan Ebner took over the backup role after Montgomery's departure last week, while Darrynton Evans could be called up from the practice squad before Sunday. Herbert figures to start and get the bulk of carries.

Sidelined for another practice
Montgomery (ankle/knee) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Sidelined for the second practice in a row, Montgomery is looking uncertain to play in Sunday's game against the Giants while he manages the two lower-body injuries. Unless Montgomery is able to get in some on-field work Friday, he'll likely sit out the Week 4 contest, which would pave the way for Khalil Herbert to take on a workhorse role out of the Chicago backfield.

Skips practice Wednesday
Montgomery (ankle/knee) didn't take part in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Montgomery exited this past Sunday's win against the Texans in the first half, leaving him with a paltry three carries for 11 yards and no targets. Afterward, head coach Matt Eberflus termed Montgomery "day-to-day," and he provided that same label for the running back's status Wednesday, according to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic.

Day-to-day per coach
Coach Matt Eberflus said Montgomery (knee/ankle) is day-to-day after exiting early in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Texans, Courtney Cronin of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Eberflus described Montgomery's day-to-day label as a positive development after he was deemed doubtful to return during the game. Khalil Herbert rushed for 157 yards and two touchdowns after replacing Montgomery, so Herbert has likely earned a more significant portion of the workload in Chicago's run-heavy offense moving forward even if Montgomery's ready to return as soon as Week 4 against the Giants.

Injures leg Sunday
Montgomery suffered an apparent injury to his lower right leg during Sunday's game against the Texans, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Montgomery remained on the turf during the Bears' second drive of the game and eventually required assistance from team trainers to get to the sideline. He paid a visit to the sideline tent and eventually went to the locker room, but the nature of his health concern isn't known. Khalil Herbert entered the contest in Montgomery's place.

Racks up 136 scrimmage yards
Montgomery rushed 15 times for 122 yards and caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: Montgomery struggled to get going in sloppy Week 1 conditions, but he was remarkably efficient in Week 2 considering Chicago's passing game didn't present a credible threat to the defense, as Justin Fields threw for just 70 yards. Khalil Herbert got just five touches in this one, so Montgomery's still the clear lead back for the Bears. Montgomery's role as the focal point of Chicago's run-heavy offense has him well positioned for a strong Week 3 performance against the Texans.

Inefficient in victory
Montgomery rushed 17 times for 26 yards and caught three passes for 24 yards in the Bears' 19-10 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Not only did Montgomery have a difficult matchup while running behind a revamped offensive line, but he played on a rain-soaked field that limited both offenses. Unlike last year, he didn't completely dominate carries, as Khalil Herbert had nine rushing attempts while scoring a rushing touchdown. We'll learn if the backfield split is going to be a trend when the Bears travel to Green Bay next week.

Plays in preseason finale
Montgomery (undisclosed) ran for 28 yards on nine carries in Chicago's preseason game against Cleveland on Saturday.
Analysis: Montgomery's undisclosed issue seems to be of minimal concern at this point, or else it would be odd for Chicago to give him nine carries in this game. Khalil Herbert looks like a competent backup to Montgomery, but Montgomery should be the lead man in a run-heavy Bears offense in 2022.

Analysis: Montgomery dealt with an undisclosed injury two weeks ago, and he returned to the practice field Monday. As yet, there's been no suggestion he might miss Week 1, but Khalil Herbert (undisclosed) remains a threat to siphon off touches depending on the health of both backs to begin the season.

Considered day-to-day
Montgomery is day-to-day with an unspecified injury and isn't likely to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Montgomery's absence could free up more snaps for backup Khalil Herbert, who may or may not be headed for a larger role under a new coaching staff. Montgomery played 75 percent of snaps in his active games last year, but Herbert did solid work in relief when Monty missed time, running for 344 yards at a clip of 4.4 YPC in a four-game stretch Weeks 5-8. While his rookie year was otherwise quiet, Herbert at least did enough to have a safe lead over Darrynton Evans and Trestan Ebner for Chicago's…read more

Seeing special-teams reps
Montgomery has been seeing reps both at running back and on special teams during training camp practices, Kevin Fishbain and Adam Jahns of The Athletic report.
Analysis: Given that he's been a three-down back when healthy over the last few years, Montgomery's presence on the Bears' kick-return unit has been somewhat surprising. Although his involvement on special teams may not mean that Montgomery's status as the Bears' clear top back is in question, it at least has to be considered a possibility that he could yield more work with Khalil Herbert in 2022.

Could trade carries for targets?
New Bears coach Matt Eberflus believes Montgomery has the skills to thrive as a pass catcher, but it is possible the running back shares more carries with his backups under offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, who comes from a Green Bay system that utilizes multiple backs, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Montgomery played 74.3 percent of snaps in his active games in 2020 and 74.6 percent in 2021, while Packers RB Aaron Jones has never gone higher than 61.5 percent. Of course, Getsy was the QBs coach and then pass-game coordinator in Green Bay, making it unlikely he had much say in the RB usage. Even so, there's a good case for giving Montgomery a little more rest this year, after backup Khalil Herbert averaged 86 rushing yards per game in a four-week stretch last October.

Heavy volume in season finale
Montgomery rushed 20 times for 72 yards and brought in two of three targets for seven yards in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings. He ended the season with 225 carries for 849 yards and seven touchdowns in addition to 42 receptions for 301 yards.
Analysis: After posting a career high 4.3 yards per carry in 2020, Montgomery fell below four yards per carry as he did in his rookie season back in 2019. Regardless, he averaged 20 touches per game, and he has an excellent chance at retaining lead-back duties in 2022, though Khalil Herbert may be able to eat into a portion of his work. Based on his career production, he'll likely be projected as a top-18 running back in 2022 fantasy drafts. Montgomery will enter the last year of his rookie deal before…read more

Scores twice in victory
Montgomery rushed 22 times for 64 yards and two touchdowns while adding two receptions for 17 yards in the Bears' 29-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: In a game the Bears controlled throughout, Montgomery was used to control the clock on the ground, though he was unable to break a run longer than 10 yards on the day. However, he took advantage of his opportunities at the goal line by scoring a pair of touchdowns. After posting at least 80 combined yards in each of his last five games, he remain a high-floor fantasy option in the season finale at Minnesota in Week 18.

Heavy volume in win
Montgomery rushed 21 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and caught seven passes for 61 yards in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
Analysis: With Seattle loading up to stop the run, Montgomery found very little room to operate, but by leading the team in rushing attempts and targets, his volume allowed him to surpass 100 yards from scrimmage. He could've had a bigger day, but he was unable to turn a rushing attempt and target from near the goal line during one drive into an additional score. He'll have an excellent matchup against the Giants next week in which he should be a top-15 option at running back.

Analysis: Montgomery was one of eight Bears who didn't take part in Thursday's walk-through session on account of an illness.

Totals 81 yards in loss
Montgomery (shoulder/groin/glute) rushed 10 times for 42 yards and notched six receptions (seven targets) for 39 yards in Sunday's 45-30 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: Montgomery left his dominant performance last week (141 total yards and a touchdown) with some battle scars, but he still produced well despite an unfavorable game script in the second half. When healthy, the 24-year-old is the Bears' most-consistent offensive weapon, but Chicago's inability to produce leads puts a cap on what the running back can do in certain matchups.

Cleared to face Packers
Montgomery (shoulder/groin/glute) has been removed from the injury report and will play in Sunday's game against the Packers.
Analysis: It's no surprise he's nicked up after taking 29 touches for 141 total yards and a TD in the loss to Arizona on Sunday, but Montgomery closed out the week with a full practice and thus figures to be ready for another large workload this Sunday with the Bears desperately hanging on at the bottom of the NFC wild-card race. That said, Montgomery is unlikely to approach last week's total of nine targets with Justin Fields sliding back in for Andy Dalton (doubtful/wrist) under center.

Tending to trio of injuries
Montgomery didn't practice Wednesday due to shoulder, groin and glute injuries.
Analysis: Since missing four games earlier this season due to a knee sprain, Montgomery has been injury-free for exactly one month but now is dealing with a trio of health concerns. As a result, his listing bears watching on the Bears' final two practice reports of Week 14 prep to see if he may be trending toward another absence Sunday in Green Bay. While suiting up in each of the past four contests, he's averaged 19.8 touches for 90.5 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring one rushing touchdown.

Offensive centerpiece
Montgomery rushed 21 times for 91 yards and a touchdown while posting eight receptions for 51 yards in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: With the Arizona pass rush giving Andy Dalton very little time to throw, Montgomery led the Bears with nine targets, and he was effective as both a runner and receiver in a tough matchup. After failing to surpass 80 total yards while not scoring over his last three games, he recorded his highest yardage total of the season. Montgomery's weekly volume pretty much ensures he'll be a top-20 running back the rest of the way.

Modest numbers against Lions
Montgomery carried the ball 17 times for 46 yards and caught all three of his targets for 28 yards in a 16-14 win over the Lions on Thanksgiving.
Analysis: The performance was a far cry from his 106-yard, two-TD effort when the NFC North rivals met back in Week 4, but Montgomery still led the Bears in rushing. He's gone three games without finding the end zone since returning to the lineup from a knee injury, a slump he'll look to snap in Week 13 against the Cardinals.

Efficient performance
Montgomery rushed 14 times for 58 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in the Bears' 16-13 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Montgomery had most of his production in the first half, but despite playing in a close game throughout, the Bears chose to go with a pass-heavy approach that kept his volume in check. Regardless, he handled 15 of the 16 touches by the Chicago running backs, and he should continue to retain one of the highest snap shares for any running back leaguewide.

Montgomery rushed 13 times for 63 yards and caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Monday night's 29-27 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Montgomery returned from a four-game absence to lead Chicago's backfield with some tough running. The tailback ripped off a game-long rush of 21 yards and also sprinkled in a couple receptions, totaling a respectable 15 touches for 80 yards on the night. Meanwhile, with Montgomery returning, rookie Khalil Herbert managed just four rushes for 13 yards, including just one second-half carry. With the Bears now entering their bye week, Montgomery should be fresh when he next takes the field in Week…read more

Officially cleared for Monday night
The Bears activated Montgomery (knee) from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game in Pittsburgh, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: After missing four straight games due to the knee sprain he sustained Oct. 3, Montgomery was designated to return from IR on Thursday and turned in a strong week of practice, according to head coach Matt Nagy. Though Nagy didn't go into specifics regarding what Montgomery's workload will look like in his first game in more than a month, the 24-year-old is expected to displace Khalil Herbert as the Bears' lead back and see the bulk of the team's carries Monday, per Adam Hoge of NBC Sports…read more

Expected to face Steelers
Montgomery (knee) is expected to be activated from IR in time to suit up versus the Steelers on Monday Night Football, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Montgomery hasn't played since Week 4 due to a knee sprain, but he appears to be trending toward a return to the field Week 9. The Bears have not yet made the transaction official, however. Rookie Khalil Herbert has impressed as Chicago's lead back while the Week 1 starter has been sidelined, and it's possible he retains a notable role even once Montgomery returns to action. Additionally, Damien Williams (knee) already has been ruled out.

Trending toward playing Monday
Bears coach Matt Nagy said "there's a really good chance" Montgomery (knee), who is currently designated to return from injured reserve, will play in Monday's contest against the Steelers, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Analysis: This is going to be a difficult situation for fantasy managers considering the Bears don't need to activate Montgomery off injured reserve until later in the afternoon Sunday. It's a bit surprising the star running back is even considered possibly available for Monday's contest given the Bears will have their bye take place in Week 10, theoretically giving the 24-year-old an ample amount of time to recover from his scary Week 4 knee injury, but this does fit nicely with the reported four-week…read more

Returns to practice
Bears head coach Matt Nagy confirmed Thursday that Montgomery (knee) has been designated to return from injured reserve, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The move clears Montgomery to return to practice and gives the Bears a 21-day window in which they can either add him to back to the 53-man roster or keep him on injured reserve for the remainder of the season. Since Montgomery hasn't been on the field since suffering a left knee sprain Oct. 3, he could be a limited participant in his return to practice. The Bears will track his progress in practice over the next three days before determining whether he'll be ready to go for Monday's game in…read more

Lands on IR
Chicago placed Montgomery (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Analysis: Montgomery will be sidelined for at least three games due to the sprained left knee after being placed on IR, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relaying that the Bears are eyeing a 3-to-5-week window for the running back's return. Damien Williams is poised to head Chicago's backfield for the time being, with rookie sixth-round pick Khalil Herbert also a candidate to see his role grow in the coming weeks.

Will miss time with knee sprain
Head coach Matt Nagy said Wednesday that Montgomery will "miss some time" with a knee sprain, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Analysis: Nagy didn't get into specifics regarding a recovery timeline for Montgomery, but Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reported Tuesday that the running back would likely miss four or five weeks. With Nagy confirming that Montgomery will be sidelined, the Bears have Damien Williams (thigh) and Khalil Herbert as backfield options on the active roster for Week 5 at Las Vegas. Chicago also has Artavis Pierce and Ryan Nall on the practice squad, while Tarik Cohen (knee) is on the PUP list through at least Week…read more

Could miss multiple weeks
Montgomery (knee) is reportedly nursing a sprain that is expected to sideline him 4-5 weeks, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Bears aren't expected to provide an official update on Montgomery's status until Wednesday, but early test results at least suggest he's avoided a season-ending issue. If a recovery timetable between four and five weeks is indeed accurate, Montgomery will likely end up seeing a stint on IR. Damien Williams appears the favorite to lead Chicago's backfield in the meantime, assuming he can manage to play through a thigh bruise. The Bears also have rookie Khalil Herbert around to pick up some…read more

Injury update coming Wednesday
The Bears do not plan to offer an update about the health of Montgomery (knee) until after Wednesday's first official practice of the week, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Early reports are optimistic Montgomery has avoided a torn ACL, instead suggesting that he suffered a hyperextended left knee during Sunday's divisional win over the Lions. However, the standout running back still is undergoing medical testing. Backup Damien Williams also picked up a thigh bruise during Sunday's win, though the injury may not keep him from suiting up at Las Vegas in Week 5, while rookie Khalil Herbert suddenly is the only back on the depth chart at full health.

Needs more tests
The Bears believe Montgomery (knee) avoided an ACL tear Sunday, but they still need more testing to determine the extent of his injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Montgomery left in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 24-14 win over the Lions, with postgame reports suggesting he'd suffered a hyperextension of his left knee. The mere mention of an ACL issue will make fantasy managers nervous, even if it's a report that he's believed to have avoided said injury. In any case, the Bears have Damien Williams and Khalil Herbert as reserve options in their backfield for now should Montgomery miss additional time, with Tarik Cohen (knee) not eligible to come off the…read more

To undergo MRI on Monday
Montgomery is slated to have an MRI on his left knee Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: At the time Montgomery departed Sunday's 24-14 win against the Lions, he had 23 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns. Initial tests have revealed that he suffered a hyperextension, but the upcoming MRI may provide further clarity about the severity and potential absence. If Montgomery is forced to miss time, veteran Damien Williams should take over lead-back duties for the Bears, with rookie Khalil Herbert available for complementary work.

Likely knee injury
Montgomery suffered a left knee injury during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Lions, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Montgomery was in visible discomfort while the training staff tended to his leg, and he later needed assistance to get off the field and to the locker room, according to Adam Jahns of The Athletic. The severity of the injury hasn't been revealed, but if he's unable to return, he'll end the game with 23 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns.

Receives 12 touches in loss
Montgomery rushed 10 times for 34 yards and caught two passes for 21 yards in the Bears' 26-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Analysis: With the Bears unable to sustain any consistent offense, Montgomery was the only Chicago player to post more than 27 yards from scrimmage, and this is likely one of the worst fantasy performances he'll have all season. He'll have a great chance to get back on track in a much more favorable home matchup against the Lions in Week 4.

Sees heavy volume
Montgomery rushed 20 times for 61 yards and caught three passes for 18 yards in the Bears' 20-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Analysis: Montgomery was unable to pick up chunks of yardage on most of his runs, which contributed to the Bears not sustaining many long drives. After ceding significant work to Damien Williams last week, the backup only had four touches this week. With 40 touches of his own over the first two weeks of the season, Montgomery will continue to be an excellent weekly fantasy option based on talent and usage.

Strong showing in losing effort
Montgomery rushed 16 times for 108 yards and a touchdown while hauling in his lone target for 10 more yards in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Montgomery was the only Chicago player on offense to have any sort of success against a stout Rams defense. In fact, he did most of his damage in the first half before a one-sided game script forced the Bears to begin airing it out. Montgomery did see the lion's share of carries as expected -- with Damien Williams (six carries) being the only other back to run the ball -- so higher-volume games could be in store if the Bears can keep games closer. The Bengals are on tap for Montgomery and the…read more

Sits out second preseason game
Montgomery did not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Bills, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Analysis: Montgomery overcame an undisclosed injury to return to practice earlier in the week, though the team decided to play it safe with its workhorse back. Damien Williams worked as the primary back in Montgomery's place and carried the ball five times for eight yards. It remains to be seen whether Montgomery will get touches in the team's final preseason game against Tennessee, though the focus presumably will be on him maintaining his health for the regular season.

Deemed healthy
Coach Matt Nagy said Montgomery (undisclosed) is "good to go" for Tuesday's practice, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Montgomery was a limited participant Monday after getting banged up on the first snap of Saturday's preseason win over Miami. It sounds like he'll be healthy enough to play in Saturday's exhibition with the Bills, if that's what Nagy wants. Montgomery is locked in as the lead runner in Chicago, while third-down snaps are more of a question mark, as he, Damien Williams and Tarik Cohen (PUP - knee) all are capable options when healthy.

Logs some reps Monday
Montgomery took part in individual drills but otherwise was a spectator at Monday's practice due to general soreness, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After his one and only touch (a three-yard carry) during Saturday's preseason win against the Dolphins, Montgomery had a visible limp as he came off the field, but he remained on the sideline and wasn't examined by the training staff. The Bears appear to be exercising caution with one of their key skill-position players, likely with an eye toward the running back being as healthy as possible for Week 1. In the offseason, the RB room was bolstered by the signing of veteran Damien Williams, and…read more

Montgomery (undisclosed) will miss Monday's practice with what the Bears are calling general soreness, Mark Grote of WSCR Radio reports.
Analysis: Montgomery limped off the field after taking a carry for three yards on the first snap of Saturday's preseason opener against Miami. He didn't need assistance and remained on the sideline, so it may just be a bad bruise. Montgomery is locked in as Chicago's lead ballcarrier after his huge finish last year, but his involvement on passing downs is more of a question, as the Bears signed Damien Williams and eventually figure to get Tarik Cohen back from last year's ACL tear.

Limps off field
Montgomery limped off the field after taking a carry on Chicago's first offensive play Saturday against the Dolphins, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Analysis: Montgomery walked off the field without assistance and was standing on the sideline without a helmet thereafter, per Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com. It doesn't look like a serious injury at first glance, but Montgomery is likely done for the afternoon. Damien Williams replaced Montgomery in the Chicago backfield.

Candidate for 300 carries
Bears coach Matt Nagy told the Under Center podcast that he'd like Montgomery to get 20 carries per game.
Analysis: It's a highly optimistic number, given that Montgomery averaged 16.5 last season -- fourth most in the league -- while playing most of the year with Cordarrelle Patterson and Ryan Nall as his (seldom-used) backups. The Bears now have Tarik Cohen coming back from an ACL tear and Damien Williams signed to a one-year contract, but even with the improved depth, Montgomery's strong finish to 2020 leaves no doubt about his status as the starter and lead ballcarrier. His workload on passing downs is…read more

Could share more work this year
Offseason addition Damien Williams could spell Montgomery at times this season, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.
Analysis: Montgomery averaged 17.0 carries and 4.9 targets in 12 games after Tarik Cohen went down with a season-ending injury early in 2020, typically playing more than 80 percent of Chicago's offensive snaps. The heavy workload didn't lead to big numbers right away, but Montgomery was a high-end RB1 over the final six weeks of the season, piling up 598 rushing yards, 225 receiving yards and eight total touchdowns in that stretch. While there's no longer any doubt about his ability to handle a…read more

Limited work in playoff loss
Montgomery rushed 12 times for 31 yards in the Bears' 21-9 loss to the Saints in the wild-card round.
Analysis: Montgomery didn't see many touches, as the Bears were dominated in time of possession, and with the team trailing for most of the game, he never had much of a chance to have a big performance. On the season, he played in 15 games and rushed for 1,070 yards and eight touchdowns while adding 54 receptions for 438 yards and two touchdowns. He was one of the top fantasy running backs over the last six weeks of the season, so he'll likely be targeted in the first 30 picks in fantasy drafts in…read more

Over 100 scrimmage yards
Montgomery rushed 22 times for 69 yards and a touchdown while catching nine passes for 63 yards in the Bears' 35-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: Although Montgomery was held in check on the ground, he scored Chicago's only touchdown while placing second on the squad with nine targets, resulting in him posting at least 100 yards and a touchdown in six straight games. On the season, he played in 15 games while rushing for 1,070 yards and eight touchdowns while adding 54 receptions for 438 yards and two touchdowns. After the Bears finish their playoff run, he'll be under contract through 2022.

Montgomery rushed 23 times for 95 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes for 26 yards in the Bears' 41-17 victory over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: While the game was competitive, the Bears had the ball deep in the red zone on three occasions. On two of those, Montgomery wasn't utilized, denying him opportunities for a score. Regardless, he's now accounted for at least 100 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in each of his last five games, and he'll have a favorable Week 17 matchup at home against the Packers.

Stays red hot
Montgomery rushed 32 times for 146 yards and two touchdowns while adding a 16-yard reception in Chicago's 33-27 victory over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: With the Bears leading for the majority of this contest, Montgomery surpassed 21 carries for the first time all season, and although he didn't have a run of 20 yards, he consistently picked up chunks of real estate on his way to a season-high yardage total. He's averaging over 100 rushing yards and 1.5 touchdowns over his last four games, and he'll have a fantastic Week 16 matchup against a Jaguars defense that's ranked in the bottom three of the league against the run.

Montgomery rushed 11 times for 113 yards and a touchdown while adding three receptions for 42 yards in the Bears' 36-7 victory over the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Montgomery took the first offensive snap for the Bears 80 yards for a touchdown, and even though Chicago controlled this game throughout, he saw just 11 carries while the team chose to go with a pass-heavy approach, likely keeping him from having a massive performance. He's now posted at least 111 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in each of his last three games, and he'll remain a solid starting option during the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Despite the backfield split, he'll continue to be Chicago's primary running back, and with upcoming matchups against the Texans, Vikings and Jaguars, Montgomery will be a solid top-24 running back in the fantasy playoffs.

Ready to return to lineup
Montgomery said Wednesday that he's cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will return to action Sunday against the Packers, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Bears didn't get much going on the ground while Montgomery was sidelined for their Week 10 loss to the Vikings, so the return of Chicago's clear-cut top back will be a welcome one. In nine games to date, the 2019 third-round pick has logged 131 carries for 472 yards and a touchdown to go with 30 catches for 212 yards and another score. While Montgomery hasn't been a source of big plays, his volume has been steady enough to ensure a decent fantasy floor on a weekly basis.

Montgomery (concussion) will not play in Monday's matchup against the Vikings.
Analysis: Montgomery was unable to practice all week, and it looks like the team will err on the side of caution with its second-year running back. The team has a Week 11 bye, so his next chance to return will come in Week 12 versus the Packers. In his absence, Chicago will go to Cordarrelle Patterson as their primary option in the backfield, while Ryan Nall and Artavis Pierce will also be available.

Analysis: For the first time since Week 2, Montgomery rushed for over 3.4 yards per carry, as he consistently was able to fight through initial contact to produce positive yardage. He was also targeted five times, which represents the fifth straight game he's had that many looks in the passing game, and he continues to perform as a volume-based running back option with a solid scoring floor for fantasy managers.

Fortunately, the tailback picked up a handful of receptions to bolster his output, including a few with the Bears chasing the game late.

Montgomery rushed 10 times for 29 yards and a touchdown while adding seven catches for 30 yards in Chicago's 20-19 victory over the Buccaneers on Thursday.
Analysis: Montgomery had very little room to run against a Buccaneers defense that's been among the stingiest in the league against opposing running backs, though he was able to pile up a number of short receptions while also scoring on a goal-line carry to give him a solid fantasy day. Since the team lost Tarik Cohen (knee) for the season, Montgomery has seen most of the backfield work, and he should continue to see enough volume to be a high-floor fantasy starter.

Montgomery rushed 10 times for 27 yards and caught three passes for 30 yards in the Bears' 19-11 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Facing a swarming Indianapolis run defense, Montgomery rarely had any room to operate on the ground, and he failed to gain more than six yards on any of his rushing attempts. With the Bears trailing throughout, they were unable to run a balanced offense, keeping Montgomery from seeing a bigger workload. With at least 57 combined yards in each game this season, he'll continue to be a top-24 running back with a solid weekly floor.

He fortunately had a few productive runs while the Bears were in the process of making up a huge deficit, as he found more room to operate.

Montgomery rushed 16 times for 82 yards while catching all three of his targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 17-13 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

Analysis: After missing practice time over the last few weeks with a groin injury, Montgomery handled his typical role as the early-down runner, and he regularly posted positive yardage on his attempts against a Lions' defensive line that failed to get consistent penetration into the backfield. With the Bears trailing by over two touchdowns in the third quarter, however, Montgomery saw very few rushing attempts down the stretch because the team had to employ a pass-heavy attack. With very little…read more

Ready to go for Week 1
Montgomery (groin) is active for Sunday's game in Detroit.
Analysis: Montgomery looked in serious jeopardy of missing the season opener after straining his groin in an Aug. 26 workout, but the running back was able to clear up most of the concern about his availability by logging full practices Thursday and Friday. The second-year back still carried a questionable tag into the weekend, but now that he's been formally cleared, Montgomery is expected to handle a full workload Sunday. No. 2 back Tarik Cohen will also have a role in the Bears' game plan, with most…read more

Expected to suit up for opener
Montgomery (groin) is expected to be active and receive a full workload in Sunday's season opener against the Lions, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.
Analysis: This anticipated outcome was foreshadowed by Montgomery's full participation in practice Friday. It's still worth confirming the running back's availability for Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, but in the absence of any setbacks, Montgomery is line to head the Bears' Week 1 backfield, with Tarik Cohen and Ryan Nall in reserve.

Expected to play
Montgomery (groin) was a full practice participant Friday but is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Detroit.
Analysis: Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune notes that Montgomery likely would be listed as 'probable' if the NFL still used that designation. Montgomery closed out the week with back-to-back full practices after Wednesday's limited session, putting him on track for the starting role Sunday in Detroit. However, it's probably best to check back in once inactive lists come out Sunday morning, as it wasn't too long ago that Montgomery's Week 1 status was a major source of concern. The Bears' roster…read more

Full participant Thursday
Montgomery (groin) practiced fully Thursday, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: Montgomery kicked off Week 1 prep with a limited session, the result of a groin strain suffered Aug. 26. He touched on the limitations Thursday, telling Stacey Dales of NFL Network that he "didn't do much in practice yesterday. Wanna be safe." By getting in a full session, Montgomery is ready to lead the Bears backfield Sunday at Detroit, at least on early downs.

Gets 'limited' tag Wednesday
Montgomery (groin) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Montgomery picked up a groin strain during an Aug. 26 practice, when he slipped on the field while taking a handoff from Mitchell Trubisky. His initial recovery timeline was 2-to-4 weeks, which conveniently coincided with the Bears' opener Sept. 13. While coach Matt Nagy told Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com before Wednesday's session that Montgomery was "gonna have a hell of a stretch practice," the running back proceeded to add individual drills to the mix and received a "limited" tag on the injury…read more

Getting in work Wednesday
Montgomery (groin) took part in stretching and individual drills at Wednesday's practice, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Montgomery is two weeks removed from the groin strain that was expected to require 2-to-4 weeks of recovery time. Considering what he was able to do Wednesday, he seems poised to receive a "limited" tag on the Bears' first Week 1 injury report, which will be revealed in the near future. If he's unable to make it all the way back for Sunday's game at Detroit, though, Montgomery will yield the backfield to some combination of pass-catching back Tarik Cohen, Ryan Nall and undrafted rookie Artavis…read more

Out for 2-to-4 weeks
Montgomery (groin) is expected to be out for 2-to-4 weeks, giving him a shot to be ready for Chicago's season opener against Detroit, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: With the opener two an a half weeks away, this timeline suggests Montgomery is more likely to miss the game than suit up. He suffered a groin strain Wednesday, slipping on the practice field while taking a hand-off from Mitchell Trubisky. Initial reports stirred up fear of a knee ligament injury, but it turned out to be something much less serious, albeit still a threat to Montgomery's Week 1 availability. The Bears don't have much depth in their backfield, with passing-down specialist Tarik…read more

Suffers groin strain
Head coach Matt Nagy said that Montgomery, who suffered a groin strain Wednesday, will undergoing further testing as the Bears look to determine the severity of the injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Reports earlier in the day suggested that Montgomery was carted off the practice field with the injury, but Adam Jahns of The Athletic later provided more specificity on the matter, relaying that the running back "left the practice field under his own power, was evaluated and was then carted to Halas Hall." In any case, Montgomery's health remains a situation to monitor, even though his injury situation appears less serious than initially feared.

Initial diagnosis promising
Initial tests suggest Montgomery suffered a groin strain during Wednesday's practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Montgomery went to the ground without contact and was then carted off the field, leading to immediate speculation regarding the possibility of a major knee injury. Fortunately, the second wave of reports is far more promising than the first, with Adam Schefter of ESPN also suggesting Montgomery avoided a knee injury, and adding that the Bears are optimistic as they await results from more tests. Montgomery seems to have escaped the worst-case scenario of a torn knee ligament, but that doesn't…read more

Possible serious injury
Montgomery left Wednesday's practice early with "what looked like a significant (leg) injury," Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Per Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, Montgomery was carted off the field following a non-contact injury. The Bears will presumably send Montgomery in for further testing, after which a clearer diagnosis of his injury along with a potential timeline for his recovery will become available. Tarik Cohen should be in store for more reps with the first-team offense in the short term, but the Bears would more than likely add a veteran running back to the roster if Montgomery is forced to miss time.

Leaner and faster
Montgomery shed six pounds in the offseason and looks noticeably quicker on the practice field, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Although Montgomery ran for just 3.7 yards per carry as a rookie, the offensive line frequently failed to open holes for him, and he often ran on obvious running downs against stacked boxes. Unless a line that wasn't addressed in the offseason takes a big step forward, it'll be difficult for Montgomery to show massive improvement. However, he's the unquestioned leader for early-down work, and his expected volume indicates he offers a stable floor for a player being drafted outside the top-24…read more

High hopes for Year 2
Montgomery anticipates taking a big step forward this season, Colleen Kane of The Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Montgomery believes improved knowledge of Matt Nagy's playbook will help him perform better, and running backs coach Charles London says the second-year pro can make more of an impact in the passing game. It's basically the same stuff we hear with every young running back, but there is reason to think Montgomery will best last year's ugly mark of 3.7 YPC if the Chicago offense as a whole isn't so brutal. On the other hand, Tarik Cohen remains locked in for a significant pass-catching role out…read more

Eclipses 100 yards
Montgomery rushed 23 times for 113 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 21-19 win over the Vikings in Week 17, and he finished the season with 889 rushing yards, 185 receiving yards and six touchdowns .
Analysis: Despite seeing over 250 touches in his rookie season, Montgomery struggled due to poor offensive line blocking and inconsistent usage that rarely allowed him to get into a rhythm. He typically showed excellent elusiveness, but he was usually met by multiple defenders after evading an initial tackler. He'll be entering the second year of his rookie deal in 2020, and he should be considered a top-24 running back in fantasy drafts; however, if Chicago improves its blocking and playcalling, he'll…read more

Receives 14 touches
Montgomery rushed 13 times for 57 yards and caught one pass for two yards in the Bears' 26-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Analysis: Aside from one drive in the third quarter when Montgomery had three productive runs, he was a non-factor in a game in which the Bears were unable to compete. After having posted at least 49 combined yards in each of his last four games, he'll be a volume-based option at running back in Week 17 against the Vikings.

Unproductive on 15 touches
Montgomery rushed 14 times for 39 yards and caught one pass for 10 yards in the Bears' 21-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: Despite facing a Green Bay defense that struggled most of the year to stop the run, Montgomery was unable to break a run of longer than eight yards, and once the Bears fell behind by double digits early in the third quarter, he lost significant playing time to Tarik Cohen. After touching the ball at least 15 times in each of his last eight games while posting inconsistent production, he'll be a volume-based fantasy option in Week 16 at home against the Chiefs.

Plays workhorse role in win
Montgomery rushed 20 times for 86 yards and failed to secure his only target in the Bears' 31-24 win over the Cowboys on Thursday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Montgomery hit the 20-carry mark for only the third time this season, as he was leaned on more than usual in the latter stages of the fourth quarter with the Bears trying to ice the game. The rookie has been productive over his last pair of contests after a pair of lackluster outings in Weeks 11 and 12, as he's garnered 161 rushing yards on 36 carries against the Lions and Cowboys. He'll look to play a significant role again in a Week 15 divisional battle versus the Packers a week from Sunday.

Compiles 87 total yards, TD in win
Montgomery rushed 16 times for 75 yards and secured both of his targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Lions on Thursday.
Analysis: Montgomery turned in a workman-like effort on the ground, with his long run of the day going for a modest 14 yards. He also delivered through the air when it mattered most, notching what would turn out to be a game-winning three-yard touchdown reception with 2:17 remaining. Montgomery's rushing yardage tally served as his second highest of the season, and he'll look to build on those numbers versus the Cowboys in a Week 14 Thursday night home matchup.

Disappointing performance
Montgomery rushed 13 times for 22 yards and caught two passes for nine yards in the Bears' 19-14 victory over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Even though he appeared fully recovered from the ankle injury that limited him last week, he continued to split work fairly equally with Tarik Cohen, and aside from a 13-yard run, Montgomery was unable to generate much yardage after contact. Despite his poor performance, this was the first time in five games that he failed to post at least 50 yards from scrimmage, and he should be considered a low-end starting option for fantasy managers.

Does little with 15 touches
Montgomery (ankle) carried the ball 14 times for 31 yards and caught one pass (three targets) for 19 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Montgomery was a game-time decision after rolling his ankle at practice earlier this week, but he was able to suit up and lead the team in carries. Unfortunately for his fantasy owners, the rookie was unable to do much against the Rams' stout interior defensive line, and he may have also been feeling the affects of the balky ankle. Despite the dud, Montgomery has been averaging 18 carries over his last four contests, and he will have a chance to feast against the Giants -- which allow 122.7…read more

Montgomery (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams at L.A., Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: Montgomery rolled his ankle at Wednesday's practice, inducing the Bears to hold him out Thursday before he returned Friday as a limited participant. Considered a game-time decision by coach Matt Nagy, Montgomery must have appeased the team's medical and training staffs enough to get the all-clear. It's unclear if Montgomery will handle his typical workload, but Tarik Cohen and Ryan Nall are on hand in the event he cannot.

Headed for game-time call
Montgomery (ankle) will be a game-time decision Sunday night against the Rams, Nathan Smith of the Bears' official site reports. "It was good to get him back out there and just kind of see where he's at," coach Matt Nagy said after Friday's practice. "He's gonna end up being a game-time decision for us."
Analysis: Montgomery was held out of Thursday's practice after he injured his ankle Wednesday. The return to a limited session Friday sets him up as truly questionable, with Tarik Cohen and Ryan Nall the alternate options in Chicago's backfield. An 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff creates issues for fantasy managers, and there's no assurance of a full workload even if Montgomery ends up playing. It's a brutal matchup in any case, with the Rams limiting backs to 3.6 yards per carry (fourth-best) and allowing the…read more

Deemed questionable for SNF
Montgomery (ankle) returned to practice Friday as a limited participant and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: This has all the makings of a frustrating situation for fantasy managers, with Montgomery appearing truly questionable for a game that kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET. He was listed as a limited participant Wednesday when he initially hurt his ankle during practice, before downgrading to no activity Thursday.

Week 11 status in question
Coach Matt Nagy said that Montgomery "lightly" rolled an ankle during Wednesday's practice, leaving the running back's availability uncertain for this weekend's game against the Rams, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Nagy's comments provide an explanation for why Montgomery was surprisingly listed as a limited participant Wednesday in the Bears' first practice of the week. It's uncertain whether the rookie will be able to resume practicing Thursday and/or Friday, but his ability to bounce back from the ankle sprain over the next couple of days will likely have significant sway on his status for the weekend.

Limited by ankle issue
Montgomery was limited at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: Since seeing a season-low four touches Week 7 against the Saints, Montgomery has bounced back over the last three games, racking up 65 touches for 283 yards and three touchdowns. With the lead role locked down ahead of change-of-pace back Tarik Cohen, Montgomery has become the most consistent option in the Bears offense, but the aforementioned health concern could throw a wrench into that development.

Disappointing afternoon
Montgomery carried 17 times for 60 yards in the Bears' 20-13 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Despite what appeared to be a cupcake matchup, Montgomery was never given a chance to get into a groove. Even when the Bears got the ball deep in enemy territory, it was Tarik Cohen who was given the red-zone screen pass for a touchdown.

Finds end zone twice
Montgomery rushed 14 times for 40 yards and two touchdowns and caught three passes for 36 yards in Chicago's 22-14 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Analysis: Montgomery had just a single yard at the half, but once the Bears were trailing by double digits, the offense started to move the ball better, and he was able to punch in two of his three goal-line carries in to help get Chicago back into the game. He was mostly shut down on the majority of his touches, but a 17-yard run and a 30-yard reception accounted for almost half of his scrimmage yards. For the first time this season, he's put together back-to-back useful fantasy performances, and his…read more
