When he does, he’ll be the Bears’ lead running back, despite the standout play of rookie Khalil Herbert, who took over when Montgomery sprained his left knee against the Lions on Oct.
“But it’s good timing if we are able to get him back and get him going because also, too, he’s grown into such a tremendous leader for that offense.
And I’m assuming that he’s not going to skip a beat, just based on how hard he works.
“I know he was working hard to get back out there on the field, and I’m excited for both .
While Nagy said Herbert won’t take Montgomery’s snaps, the Bears could find a role for him in lieu of Damien Williams, who missed practice Thursday after hurting his knee Sunday against the 49ers.
“Whatever he requires and whatever he needs from me, from David, I’m sure we’ll both comply,” Herbert said.
He’s been watching film on from last week, just getting his mind right mentally.
