The Lions have had a clear pecking order at running back this season, with Jahmyr Gibbs starting all six games, playing 62 percent of offensive snaps, and getting 87 carries and 23 catches. David Montgomery has come in off the bench in all six games, played 39 percent of offensive snaps, and had 65 carries and nine catches. That may change going forward.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said he’d like to balance things out offensively, and that means putting the ball in Montgomery’s hands more.
“That’s something that I always try to look at,” Campbell said. “We certainly don’t want either one of them getting too much. But I know that it’s a little more tilted towards Jah right now. And a lot of that comes in the two-minute reps that we get. Now, the other day we only had six of them, but a lot of times that’s where that goes because he’s normally in on that, and that can skew it. But I don’t feel like we’ve gotten Jah too much in a game yet, necessarily. I think he had 36, 37 snaps the other night. So, I feel pretty good. But as far as balancing them out, I would like to balance them out. I would. I would like to give David some more. Find a place to get him a few more. We were hoping we would be able to do that in the second half some more, but it was kind of the way the game went.”
Lions assistant head coach Scottie Montgomery also said today that he wants to make sure the Lions are giving David Montgomery enough opportunities. That could mean a smaller workload for Gibbs and bigger workload for Montgomery on Monday night against the Buccaneers.

Yuma, AZ – October 15, 2025 – Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran has publicly praised 9-year-old Zayin Berry of Yuma, Arizona, for his courageous act of saving a cat from abuse at a local skatepark. Berry, who recently earned the title of “ASPCA Kid of the Year,” traded his own skateboard to ensure the safety of a helpless animal, a gesture that has earned him widespread admiration.
“I’ve heard a lot about Zayin’s incredible act, and I think it’s just amazing,” Duran said in an emotional statement. “For a young kid to step up like that, to make such a selfless decision to help an animal in need, it really shows the kind of courage and heart he has. Zayin is a true example of kindness in action.”
The incident occurred when Zayin spotted a cat being abused at the skatepark. Without hesitation, Zayin traded his beloved skateboard to the abuser in exchange for the cat’s freedom, later naming the cat “Peaches” after ensuring its safety. The young boy’s selfless actions not only saved the cat’s life but also brought attention to the importance of compassion and standing up for those who cannot protect themselves.
“I just wanted to make sure Peaches was okay,” Zayin said in a statement. “I knew I had to help her, so I gave up my skateboard. It felt like the right thing to do.”
Duran, who has been an advocate for community service and positive role models, shared his admiration for Zayin’s bravery. “It’s people like Zayin who make the world better,” Duran added. “He didn’t think twice about doing what was right, even if it meant giving something important to him. That’s the kind of character we need more of.”
Zayin’s actions have inspired not only the local community in Yuma but also countless others who have learned about his heroic gesture. His willingness to sacrifice something he valued to help an innocent animal serves as a reminder of the power of compassion and standing up for what is right.
