OCTOBER 9, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Lands on IR Chicago placed Montgomery (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

Impact Montgomery will be sidelined for at least three games due to the sprained left knee after being placed on IR, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relaying that the Bears are eyeing a 3-to-5-week window for the running back's return. Damien Williams is poised to head Chicago's backfield for the time being, with rookie sixth-round pick Khalil Herbert also a candidate to see his role grow in the coming weeks.

Matt Nagy makes Justin Fields No. 1 Bears quarterback

After resisting the move in the past Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy has made Justin Fields his first-string quarterback going forward and has moved Andy Dalton into the backup role

Will miss time with knee sprain Head coach Matt Nagy said Wednesday that Montgomery will "miss some time" with a knee sprain, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

Impact Nagy didn't get into specifics regarding a recovery timeline for Montgomery, but Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reported Tuesday that the running back would likely miss four or five weeks. With Nagy confirming that Montgomery will be sidelined, the Bears have Damien Williams (thigh) and Khalil Herbert as backfield options on the active roster for Week 5 at Las Vegas. Chicago also has Artavis Pierce and Ryan Nall on the practice squad, while Tarik Cohen (knee) is on the PUP list through at least Week 6.

Could miss multiple weeks Montgomery (knee) is reportedly nursing a sprain that is expected to sideline him 4-5 weeks, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Bears aren't expected to provide an official update on Montgomery's status until Wednesday, but early test results at least suggest he's avoided a season-ending issue. If a recovery timetable between four and five weeks is indeed accurate, Montgomery will likely end up seeing a stint on IR. Damien Williams appears the favorite to lead Chicago's backfield in the meantime, assuming he can manage to play through a thigh bruise. The Bears also have rookie Khalil Herbert around to pick up some slack, with a road matchup against the Raiders on deck for Week 5.

Impact Early reports are optimistic Montgomery has avoided a torn ACL, instead suggesting that he suffered a hyperextended left knee during Sunday's divisional win over the Lions. However, the standout running back is still undergoing medical testing. Backup Damien Williams also picked up a thigh bruise during Sunday's win, though the injury may not keep him from suiting up at Las Vegas in Week 5, while rookie Khalil Herbert is suddenly the only back on the depth chart at full health.

Needs more tests The Bears believe Montgomery (knee) avoided an ACL tear Sunday, but they still need more testing to determine the extent of his injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Montgomery left in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 24-14 win over the Lions, with post-game reports suggesting he'd suffered a hyperextension of his left knee. The mere mention of an ACL issue will make fantasy managers nervous, even if it's a report that he's believed to have avoided said injury. In any case, the Bears have Damien Williams and Khalil Herbert as reserve options in their backfield for now should Montgomery miss additional time, with Tarik Cohen (knee) not eligible to come off the PUP list until Week 7. The Bears play at Las Vegas in Week 5.
