Ty Montgomery

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?

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."

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.

This. I'm fully expecting this to be the case. They will give him as much time as possible to heal.

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

[HarveyWallbangers]

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?

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.

[Fritz]

I am going to predict, right here and now, that that's what they do with Montgomery.

turns out his health problem is cycle cell trait. hopes to play this weekend.
