GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The symptoms that kept Ty Montgomery out of Sunday's loss at Atlanta were related to sickle-cell trait -- a condition the Packers receiver said he had been diagnosed with previously.
However, he said last week was the first time he ever experienced any issues.
Sources told ESPN on Sunday that Montgomery had blood in his urine and the Packers kept him out for precautionary reasons.
Montgomery said he and his doctors believe that was related to sickle-cell trait, not a hit he sustained during a game, and don't think it's career threatening.
