Ty Montgomery Injury: Bill Belichick Shares Encouraging Update On Patriots RB

Ty Montgomery shocked the Patriots fanbase with the injury he sustained during the preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Patriots running back had to leave the game due to an ankle injury and many thought that his season was over. Montgomery is set to have a big role with the Patriots and this injury could have turned his career into a nightmare. Well, it didn’t.

Head coach Bill Belichick discussed Montgomery’s injury and shared an update on his recovery. It seems like his player feels good after all.

“We haven’t practiced since we’ve been back here, so we’ll see how things go today, see what he’s able to do,” Belichick said on WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show. “But I think he’s doing alright.”

Belichick is a man of a few words and he provided a short answer. However, we have a good feeling that Montgomery is doing just fine right now. The Patriots head coach is loud and clear when it comes to discussing the health condition of his players. He doesn’t say more than he is supposed to.

Ty Montgomery recovers from his injury

The Patriots will start the regular season with a game against the Miami Dolphins. They haven’t won many games against the Dolphins, but the Patriots can definitely use Montgomery. They lost the preseason finale to the Raiders and Belichick needs each and every player on his roster to win more games in 2022. Losing Montgomery to an injury would be a big blow for the team.

If the talented player ends up on injured reserve, Belichick will probably use J.J. Taylor and Kevin Harris. We will have more information about the 2022 roster on Tuesday.

Montgomery joined the league as a third-round pick for the Green Bay Packers in the 2015. In his three seasons with the Packers, he showed great performance and acted like a versatile player. Montgomery was both a receiver and running back. Now he has a chance to do something great with the Patriots. Hopefully, he will stay healthy. Staying healthy is a priority right now.
