Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery returns to Cincinnati on Sunday to face the Bengals in Week 5. Montgomery played at Mount Healthy High School before attending Iowa State, but he has never competed professionally in his hometown. His sister will attend the game for the first time since a car accident on Valentine's Day left her paralyzed from the neck down approximately 18 months ago.
Montgomery expressed excitement about his sister watching him play in person. The running back noted that multiple family members will attend the game at the stadium where he grew up supporting the Bengals. Montgomery shares carries with Jahmyr Gibbs in the Lions' backfield.
The matchup holds personal significance for Montgomery beyond standard competition. His family connections to Cincinnati add emotional weight to the contest. The Lions visit Paul Brown Stadium as Montgomery faces the team he followed as a youth.
