Are David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs playing tonight? Lions RB has had a quiet start

The Detroit Lions have one of the best running back duos in the NFL in Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, but both backs are off to a quiet start in the Week 10 matchup against the Houston Texans.

Montgomery was sensational in eight games, with 488 rushing yards, 161 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. Montgomery has already surpassed his receiving yards total from last season and has a good chance to finish with more rushing yards as well.

Gibbs has been even more productive than his backfieldmate, totaling 656 rushing yards, 165 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. He’s on pace to break both of his career-best totals from last season.

But Montgomery and Gibbs are off to a slow start against the Texans on Sunday night. Here’s a look at what they’ve done so far.

Is David Montgomery playing tonight?

Montgomery plays Sunday night and is not dealing with an injury during the game, so that has nothing to do with his slow start. The Lions’ offense is off to a poor start overall, so that’s the biggest contributor to Montgomery’s lackluster numbers thus far.

Is Jahmyr Gibbs playing tonight?

Like Montgomery, Gibbs is active and healthy.
