If you said Ty Montgomery, then you are a winner!
Here’s a quick review. Montgomery appeared to be a near certainty to play last week after practicing all week. Of course, he was a game-day inactive. And now he’s gone right back to his usual spot of standing around and watching practice.
#Packers practice: Montgomery (ankle) sidelined again. Shields (concussion) and Sitton (back) not working for 2nd straight day.

Montgomery hasn’t played since week 6 because of a sprained ankle.
Is it healing or is it not healing? We’re going to go with the latter at this point.
Might as well go ahead and get in there with the hacksaw and amputate that goddam gimp ankle. Replace it with a wooden post.
Just as good to stand around on!
Montgomery’s latest setback comes at an interesting time for the Packers. Andrew Quarless, AKA God’s Gifts, has been practicing for nearly three weeks after being activated from short-term injured reserve.
He’s not on the active roster yet, though. The Packers have to make a decision on Gifts by Monday.
Either add him to the roster, send him back to injured reserve or release him.
The first option would require the Packers to make a corresponding roster move. Either release someone or put someone on injured reserve.
We’re not sure what Montgomery standing around for another few weeks is going to do. Might as well put him on the shelf already.
