The Green Bay Packers will not have Ty Montgomery in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After ruling Montgomery out on Friday, the team then placed him on season-ending injured reserve.
Ty Montgomery injury update: How to handle Packers RB going forward
Ty Montgomery’s fantasy season is over.

Montgomery missed practice this week due to a rib injury that has plagued him for the past month. With Aaron Jones still out with a knee injury, Montgomery could return and become the No. 1 back in this offense once healthy, but he does not appear close to accomplishing this.
Making matters worse, Jones did actually return to practice this week, making it an easy call for Green Bay to send Montgomery to injured reserve.
Fantasy Impact: With Montgomery out of the picture, rookie Jamaal Williams should get the majority of touches in Week 13 against a Bucs defense that has struggled mightily on defense this season, allowing the ninth-most fantasy points to running backs in the process.
