Montgomery became the starting RB because Lacy, Starks and Don Jackson were all hurt at the same time. No team has the depth to deal with those types of situations. I think it was bad luck that won't likely be repeated. If they can keep the total injuries at a reasonable level, I think they'll fare better in 2017.
The Packers team as a whole was injured at an average rate. But the defense bore the brunt of it, especially the DBs and OLBs.
