Green Bay — Provided everything heals as expected, Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Ty Montgomery expects to be as good as new next season.
Montgomery underwent surgery two weeks ago to repair ligament and cartilage damage in his left ankle, the result of an injury suffered against San Diego in Week 6. The surgery came after seven weeks of Montgomery rehabbing the ankle to the point where he thought he was over the hump only to suffer a setback.
There was hope that the ankle might stabilize on its own, but ultimately it required surgery to tighten up the ligament and take care of some of the collateral damage that occurred.
