ALLEN PARK -- Lions running back David Montgomery practiced on Wednesday despite a knee injury that sidelined him for part of Sunday’s dramatic win against the Minnesota Vikings.

Montgomery was able to return to the game, but lost a key fumble that was returned for a go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter. Head coach Dan Campbell said the injury did not impact the play. Montgomery finished with nine carries for 31 yards, his worst game of the year.
