GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Andrew Quarless felt all last week he was ready to return from his Week 3 knee injury. He just wasn’t sure if there was going to be a roster spot for him.
But the Green Bay Packers cleared space for the veteran tight end on Monday by placing Ty Montgomery on injured reserve, ending a two-month saga during which the rookie receiver never could return from his Week 6 ankle injury. Montgomery’s move to IR cleared the way for the Packers to activate Quarless off the temporary injured reserve list.
