Lions Trade David Montgomery to Texans, Handing Jahmyr Gibbs the Keys to Detroit's Backfield

The Detroit Lions have agreed to trade veteran running back David Montgomery to the Houston Texans, in exchange for offensive lineman Juice Scruggs and two draft picks — a fourth-rounder and a seventh-rounder. The move ends one of the most beloved backfield partnerships in recent NFL memory and sends a crystal-clear message: in Detroit, it's Gibbs' world now.

The tandem was affectionately known as "Sonic and Knuckles" — Gibbs as the electrifying, speedy Sonic and Montgomery as the bruising, dependable Knuckles.
