EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — If “necessity is the mother of invention,” Packers receiver turned running back Ty Montgomery is the offspring creation.
Injuries to Eddie Lacy (out for season) and James Starks (dealing with a concussion from a car accident) prompted Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy to fill the void with Montgomery, particularly in the past three weeks.
Montgomery had six carries for 40 yards against Houston, nine for 41 with a touchdown against Seattle and 16 for 162 on Sunday in Chicago. He also had 60 yards on nine carries when the Packers hosted the Bears in Week 9.
