The Chicago Bears will get backfield reinforcement ahead of Monday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
¹ú²úÍâÁ÷ÍøNetwork Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Bears are expected to activate running back David Montgomery from injured reserve, per a source, and roughly four hours prior to kickoff the team announced his activation.
Montgomery has been out since suffering a knee injury in Week 4. The 24-year-old compiled 309 rushing yards and three touchdowns before the injury struck.
In Montgomery's absence, Chicago has relied on impressive rookie Khalil Herbert. The Virginia Tech product has generated 70-plus rush yards in four straight games sans Montgomery.
Facing a stingy Pittsburgh defense Monday night, the Bears should use the RB duo heavily on the road.
