The Chicago Bears (4-5) might enter Sunday night’s game against the Los Angeles Rams (5-4) without starting running back David Montgomery.
Montgomery is considered a game-time decision, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. Montgomery lightly rolled his ankle during Wednesday’s practice. He missed Thursday’s practice and was limited Friday before being declared questionable against the Rams.

If Montgomery can’t go, the Bears figure to split reps between running backs Tarik Cohen and Ryan Nall, as well as receiver Cordarrelle Patterson, who’s been employed as a power back at times this season.
The Bears will also be without tight end Adam Shaheen (foot), linebacker Danny Trevathan (elbow), Isaiah Irving (quad) and tight end Trey Burton, who was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
