David Montgomery Injury Update
Montgomery (knee) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday. Barring an unexpected setback, he will play in the Divisional Round against the Commanders. Fantasy managers should expect him to resume working in tandem with Jahmyr Gibbs, who has looked phenomenal lately.
Two big injury updates for the #Lions during today’s (estimated) practice:
— RB David Montgomery (knee) was a full participant.
— CB Terrion Arnold (foot) was a full participant.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 14, 2025
Isiah Pacheco Injury Update
Pacheco (rib) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday. The Chiefs' primary running back has been quite disappointing since returning from his fibula injury, but head coach Andy Reid hinted that he could return to his normal workload once the playoffs got underway. Until we see that happen, though, Pacheco remains a speculative start in fantasy football, and his managers should be cautiously optimistic.

Ray Davis Injury Update
Davis (concussion) entered concussion protocol after taking a serious hit while trying to catch a pass on Sunday. His status for the Divisional Round remains up in the air. If he can't suit up, Ty Johnson would handle a bigger role behind James Cook.
Bills RB Ray Davis is still in concussion protocol, per Sean McDermott. OL Alec Anderson is day-to-day (calf). Brandon Codrington is improving (hamstring).

Carson Steele Injury Update
Steele (hip) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday. The rookie should be healthy enough to play this week, but he remains a non-factor for fantasy football given his depth role behind Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, and Samaje Perine.
