Is David Montgomery playing today? Why Lions RB is off to lackluster start in Week 13

We have been witnessing a big change in the [Detroit Lions](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/detroit-lions)' running backs room this season.

After having an even split when it comes to touches in recent years, it's clear that the Lions are deploying Jahmyr Gibbs more this season, which has been bad news for David Montgomery.

Early on in the Week 13 game against the [Green Bay Packers](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/green-bay-packers), Montgomery is off to a lackluster start once again.

Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is David Montgomery playing today?

----------------------------------

Yes, Montgomery is active for the Lions, he just didn't see the field on the opening series, as is usually the case.

But don't be surprised if Montgomery doesn't get any snaps on the second series, either, as we've seen the Lions take that approach multiple times this season.
