The Chicago Bears will be getting back a valuable member of their offense ahead of Sunday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers.
Running back David Montgomery confirmed that he has cleared concussion protocol and is “good to go” for Week 12.

Montgomery suffered a concussion in a Week 9 contest against the Tennessee Titans, which held him out of the Minnesota Vikings game back in Week 10.
In Montgomery’s absence, the Bears leaned on Cordarrelle Patterson, Lamar Miller, Ryan Nall and Artavis Pierce in a more running-back-by-committee approach. But the Bears’ struggles continued in the run game as those guys managed only 41 yards on 17 carries.
Montgomery told the media that this was the most severe concussion he’s ever had. He said he had to be “smart, and honest with myself” as he recovered from it.
While the run game has been ineffective all season, there’s no overstating the importance of Montgomery’s return, especially as Chicago prepares for a brutal divisional showdown against Green Bay in primetime.
