Montgomery missed practice this week due to a rib injury. The good news is Packers head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters on Friday that he won’t be out for a long time.
Still, this is a tough break for Montgomery, who was poised to retake his job as the Packers’ top running back with Aaron Jones out. Jones suffered a knee injury against the Chicago Bears in Week 10 will keep him out 3-6 weeks.
That was the same game in which Montgomery got hurt, though it looks like he could return as early as Week 12.
Fantasy Impact: With Montgomery out, Jamaal Williams has become a hot waiver-wire target this week, though you should probably keep him on the bench against a stout Ravens defense. This would have been a good matchup for Montgomery since he’s the better pass-catching back.
