David Montgomery (ankle) considered ‘optimistic’ to suit up Sunday

David Montgomery, who missed Week 4 with an ankle injury, has a good chance to play against the Vikings in Week 5, according to the team.

Fantasy Impact: Montgomery is the Bears starting running back, but Khalil Herbert was able to fill in nicely while he missed time. The Iowa St. product will eye a return in Week 5 against a Minnesota defense that has been somewhat susceptible to the run through the first quarter of the season. Fantasy managers will have to consider the notion that Montgomery may be limited in some way, but if the Bears believe he is ready to go then perhaps Montgomery is ready to receive his usual workload as well.
