I saw a few people have predicted the 53 man roster on other sites. At least two people thing Monty will start on the pup/ir list. Did I miss something or is his injury not healing?

just got off crutches a recently.
This from Rotoworld via ESPN:
Ty Montgomery (ankle) will be limited in OTAs.
Montgomery hasn't had any setbacks from late-December surgery, but still isn't running. Coach Mike McCarthy doesn't expect Montgomery to be fully cleared until training camp.

Although McCarthy said last month at the NFL meetings that he doesn’t expect Montgomery to be fully cleared until training camp, Montgomery impressed coaches last season with his ability to pick up the Packers’ offense quickly, even after missing most of the team’s organized team activity practices while finishing up his coursework at Stanford. That should help him make the most of the offseason program, even if he can’t do much physically.
Montgomery said while he isn’t running, he is “getting to that point,” doing unloaded running in the rehab pool and “incorporating more lower-body exercises” than he had been doing.
“Everything is moving smoothly,” Montgomery said. “My timeline is their timeline. We’re all working together and just making sure the best things happen for me [to get healthy].”
Thanks. Not sure how I managed to miss that.
It's possible he could start on the PUP list. He'll need to pass a physical like everyone else, and his will obviously test the ankle. I'd be very surprised though if this carries over to the regular season.
This. I'm fully expecting this to be the case. They will give him as much time as possible to heal.Originally Posted by Joemailman

Yup. The Pack seem to be consistently cautious returning players coming off of injury.

Especially if the other 6 receivers make it through camp healthy.

I don't know, with the Packers "doesn't expect to be cleared until training camp" tends to mean "will be lucky to clear by the start of the season."
Hard to say. It's fairly common for the Packers to hold out guys coming off off-season surgery until training camp. They will be cautious though. Don't want a repeat of last year.
If he PUPS can't they keep him there right up until the start of the season?

As long as he is on PUP at the start of camp (or whatever the failed physical designation is at that time) he can stay on PUP and be eligible to come back after Week 6 with a 3 week window to practice before having to choose to put him on the active roster.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
I am going to predict, right here and now, that that's what they do with Montgomery.

It will be interesting to see what number he takes.
He also needs work on his blitz pickup.
he was 7 at st. marks in dallas but Hundley has that. he'll take Starks' 44 (half of 88).
Yup !
Getting that new number on his jersey will make all the difference.

Good, maybe next year fat mike will add a play that's called "throw the ball to the running back out of the backfield"
For a very pass heavy offense, it kind of amazing how little we do that
