Ty Montgomery sees the tweets and other social media posts about him. He knows there’s an element of Green Bay Packers fans who can’t understand why it’s taken him so long to come back from an ankle injury that occurred way back on Oct. 18.

The second-year receiver says he tries not to let it upset him because few know the severity of his injury and what he went through to fix it.



I certainly understand why teams give out injury updates with an eye dropper instead of a fire hose. What's in the best interest of a team is not always what's in the best interest of the individual.

Right or wrong, the lack of information that is provided to the general public by professional organizations leads to more severe criticism of the players than there would be if everyone knew all the facts.

Great point!
We never seem to get all the facts. So when we hear an "ankle sprain" we don't think of it as a severe injury.
I myself had a bad one when I was only 7.
It has caused me unbelievable problems over the years. Any uneven surface, and it gives out. And I'm not a pro athlete. I can only imagine how hard it must be to make the kinds of cuts and so on on the field.
I hope he can get back to preinjury status.

It seems like there have been a number of Packers lately whose injuries went from relative obscurity to announcements out of the blue that they're career ending. This precedent has made me incredibly skeptical that Ty's injury is much more severe than the team is letting on, and I never believed M.M. when he said all the "PUP'ers" would be back by Jacksonville.

I get it, and I don't blame Mike or the organization for veiling injury information. We're not entitled to know for myriad obvious reasons. That said, it's also why I jump to conclusions with Ty, and to a growing extent, Jordy and Jared.

From my experience an ankle sprain when ligaments have been damaged can take up to year to recover, the blood flow to the ankle is so poor it takes so much longer to heal. And a WR is all about the confidence in his Hips>Knees>Ankles

Back in my playing days I tore both ankles from playing football, first was training on uneven ground caused me to roll it. The second time was during a game playing as the punt protector and the O-Line sold me down the river (2 guys unblocked) and crashed into my knee and ankle went.

Out. Doubtful. Questionable. Probable.

Nothing else is required.

Fan Shout
beast (3h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (3h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (13h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (13h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (16h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (16h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
dfosterf (17h) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
Zero2Cool (17h) : Thank you
wpr (17h) : Z, glad you are feeling better.
wpr (17h) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
Zero2Cool (17h) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (18h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (18h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (18h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.
Zero2Cool (18h) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.
Martha Careful (19h) : just kidding...it was down
Martha Careful (19h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
dfosterf (19h) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.
beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...
beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury
beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State
beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE
packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome
