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

If he PUPS can't they keep him there right up until the start of the season?

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.

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
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
I'd like to see some screen passes too, but I kinda doubt it will happen. D Coordinators figured out quite a while ago that blitzing Aaron Rodgers is counterproductive. They also know that they usually can get quick and strong pressure with just 3 or 4 pass rushers. Screens work best when the opponent loads up for a big pass rush - usually blitzing. Since they don't much, we won't much.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
