With only two minutes left, Montgomery ran a kickoff out of his own end zone and proceeded to fumble.

Several reports of dissension between teammates and Montgomery surfaced following Montgomery taking the ill-advised special teams risk which then led to his costly fumble. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This trade appears to be a win-win for both sides, as the Ravens needed a boost to their running game, while the Packers were giving Montgomery very little playing time. Against the Rams, he only had six snaps from scrimmage. For this season, Montgomery has only been given the ball 26 times for a grand total of 105 yards despite showing the potential to be much greater. The passing game hasn&#8217;t helped him either, with only 15 receptions and a touchdown tacked on to his stats through eight weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following this trade, the Packers will be left with a backfield consisting of<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=JoneAa00,JoneAa20&amp;search=Aaron+Jones&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aaron Jones<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WillJa06.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jamaal Williams<\/a><\/strong> while the team searches for a third back for their roster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"dpISgPbNS81CxdLx1YuFEQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1051219386\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'dpISgPbNS81CxdLx1YuFEQ',sig:'U1chcfAOmyrFlH53VGJCuY-9tSq1_inifbvBIhbH9rE=',w:'594px',h:'400px',items:'1051219386',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Baltimore Ravens look to improve their rushing game by making a trade for Green Bay Packers running back Ty Montgomery.
