00:00Now some news from practice for teams that are playing on
00:03Saturday, really yesterday first full day back on the practice
00:07field, even if those teams that had an extra week of rest as the
00:12one seed in either conference had a bye weekend, they're still
00:16just getting back in gear shaking off the rust. That was
00:19the case for the Lions yesterday as they get ready for Saturday
00:22night, hosting the commanders and David Montgomery, back on
00:27the practice field for the Lions, just a walkthrough, but
00:30still positive injury news for Detroit, which is where the
00:34pendulum is starting to swing for the Lions because in the
00:37final month of the regular season DRS, including that knee
00:41injury to David Montgomery initially, it seemed like it was
00:44doom and gloom everywhere. The Lions getting healthier Alex
00:48Anzalone back David Montgomery expected to play on Saturday
00:52night against the commanders as well.
00:55Yeah, that's a that's a good football team. They're rested.
00:57They're ready. They're having a game where they're basically
00:59double digit favorites here, which are going to line up. Let
01:01you say against the Philadelphia Eagles as it looks like based
01:04on the odds in the NFC championship game, but this is
01:06really good for them because now you actually have a game and
01:09look, we're not saying this is an automatic win here for
01:12Detroit. You Washington's going to be pretty game in that game
01:14whether they can win the game. We'll see but this is the
01:17perfect time to say, you know what? Let's run him out there
01:19in game time, you know flow where he's missed a couple
01:21games here. See how that knee reacts. And if it's good,
01:23great, you give him five to six touches in that game. And then
01:26you really start to ramp him up in that Eagles game. If it is
01:29the Eagles night game. And if you win that then you get Ben
01:31the extra by week again before the Super Bowl or now you're
01:34looking at he could be fully 100% along with Gibbs for the
01:38Super Bowl. That would be impressive. So good news for
01:41the Detroit Lions bad news for everybody else trying to stop
01:43that backfield.
