Montgomery exited Sunday's 24-14 victory against the Detroit
Lions in the fourth quarter. He rushed for 106 yards and two
touchdowns on 23 carries.
The 100-yard outing was his second of the season. Montgomery
leads the Bears with 309 rushing yards and three scores and has
six catches for 49 yards.
The 24-year-old Montgomery rushed for 889 yards as a rookie in
2019 and 1,070 last season.
With Montgomery out, the Bears have Damien Williams and rookie
Khalil Herbert on their 53-man roster at running back. Williams,
29, has 114 yards from scrimmage and one TD this season and
could be in line to start next Sunday for the Bears (2-2) at the
Las Vegas Raiders (3-1).
Chicago added some depth at receiver on Tuesday, acquiring
5-foot-7 Jakeem Grant from the Miami Dolphins for a 2023
sixth-round pick, the teams announced.
Grant primarily has served as a returner during his five-plus
seasons in Miami, running back three punts and two kickoffs for
touchdowns over the course of his career. Grant has also caught
91 passes for 1,001 yards and five touchdowns as a receiver.
In a corresponding move, the Bears waived wide receiver/return
specialist Nsimba Webster.
