The Bears have designated David Montgomery for return from injured reserve, per a club announcement. This move kicks off a 21-day window for the Bears to activate the running back. If he’s not restored to the roster in the next three weeks, he will be ineligible to return in 2021. 
Montgomery was placed on IR with an MCL sprain in Week 4. To date, he has registered 309 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, plus six catches for 49 yards. The Bears were expected to lean on ex-Kansas City starter Damien Williams in his stead, but they’ve gotten more production out of sixth-round pick Khalil Herbert. To date, he has 351 yards (and a touchdown) off of 81 carries, with the bulk of those yards coming in the last three games. That includes 5.0+ yards per carry against the Packers and the Bucs.
Montgomery, 24, is coming off of his best season to date. In 2020, he tallied 1,070 rushing yards and eight rushing TDs, good for 4.3 yards per carry. If he’s ready in time, he could make his ’21 debut against the Steelers on Monday night.
he already played in 4 games this year, it won’t be his ‘21 debut just his return from IR
Will be nice having a 1-2 punch of him and Herbert on the ground. Now if only Fields and A-Rob can get on the same page…
Hell even reading the same book or in the same section of the library.
Nobody’s ever been on the same page as a rob lol. Guy gotta get outta there.
And if only the O-line was good, if only the front 3 we’re good, if only the linebackers we’re good, if only the secondary could tackle, if only Nagy would be permanently in quarantine, if only they fire Pace, if only the McCaskey’s sell the team, then we might get to an 9-8 season.
If only Dennis Green were alive to say “The Bears are who we thought they were”.
2021 debut?
Good. Not a Bears fan, but I would like to see what Fields looks like with a little more support.
what an embarrassingly inaccurate article
