David Montgomery injury update: Latest on Texans Pro Bowl RB after Titans' victory
While the Houston Texans won on the road against an AFC South opponent, their run game might have taken a hit before they travel accross the pond.
Houston Texans running back David Montgomery suffered a groin injury during the team's 26-3 victory over the Tennessee Titans, forcing him to leave the game in the first half. Coach DeMeco Ryans indicated the injury could be significant and may sideline Montgomery for some time. Montgomery, acquired from the Detroit Lions this offseason, was anticipated to provide a boost to the offense, which struggled with rushing during last season's 12-win campaign.
Since his three-touchdown day against the Buffalo Bills, Montgomery has managed only 78 yards on 32 carries and hasn't scored since Week 1. Woody Marks, the previous season's top back, has been a more reliable runner, amassing 2 touchdowns on 15 carries and contributing 22 receiving yards on four catches.
