GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The flak jacket Ty Montgomery would have to wear if he's cleared to play Sunday at Minnesota is bulky and sits just below where the Green Bay Packers running back would need to tuck the ball when he runs.
But coach Mike McCarthy isn't concerned that it could present a ball-security problem for Montgomery, who hasn't shown a proclivity for fumbling since he became a full-time running back early last season.
Montgomery practiced this week with a large pad around his lower ribs that was fashioned by long-time team equipment manager Gordon 'Red' Batty and his staff.
