Montgomery, who is now a former division foe, played for the Chicago Bears from 2019-2022 in his young NFL career.

The 25-year-old bruiser carried the ball 201 times for 801 yards and five touchdowns on the ground, adding 34 receptions for 316 yards and one endzone score in 16 games.

The deal most likely ends the Lions career of fan favorite Jamaal Williams.
