But against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, the experienced running back got hurt.

In the third quarter of Sunday's game, Montgomery limped off the field after making a catch.

He couldn't put much weight on his right leg and had to be helped to the Lions' bench.

[{"selector":"#anim-ecf02214-26ca-46f8-96a7-e7c28e19ecbd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c6f78551-c5b6-4fa2-9a92-6d611d31a33b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1fd9752c-ee9f-4f3e-b5b6-30aaf593d234","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-113.2492%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

As Detoit's training staff tried to work on Montgomery's right leg, he seemed to be in a lot of pain.

[{"selector":"#anim-1808a141-9d77-48d1-bd3c-bf4d744f9c4d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1d274b76-8d8c-4faf-80e9-bc3c9b6fe533","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-61c69cf9-9d9b-4cd7-92f3-e6cfe2afec48","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-113.2492%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Before leaving, Montgomery had run 16 times for 67 yards and a score. Since the senior is out, the Lions will put first-round draft pick Jahmyr Gibbs in the backfield.

Montgomery, who is 26, played for the Chicago Bears for the first four years of his career.

During a corner catch in the second quarter, Montgomery's leg was hurt. He got up and hobbled over to the bench.
