Ty Montgomery 5/19: "I like being here, I love being a New England Patriot" Patriots wide receiver Ty Montgomery addresses the media on Thursday, May 19th, 2022.

Impact Given the Patriots' deep running back corps and solid depth at wideout, there's not a clear path for Montgomery to see steady touches in the team's offense at this stage. That said, the 29-year-old's versatility is an asset that could help him secure a roster spot, in particular if he makes a case to earn special teams snaps. In 14 games with the Saints last season, Montgomery carried 15 times for 44 yards while catching 16 of his 26 targets for 95 yards.

New deal has given Patriots' White boost after hip surgery
Following the hip surgery that cut his 2021 season short after just three games, James White found himself in a state he’s rarely been during his eight NFL seasons: immobileMARCH 21 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Joining Patriots Montgomery is signing a two-year deal with the Patriots, independent NFL reporter Dov Kleiman reports.
Impact Montgomery may provide depth behind passing-down back James White, who was re-signed earlier this week, or he could see more of his work at wide receiver. Either way, the versatile 29-year-old isn't likely to have a big role, with any fantasy value likely requiring injuries ahead of him.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Logs 31 touches in 2021 Montgomery rushed 15 times for 44 yards while catching 16 of 26 targets for 95 yards over 14 games in 2021.
Impact Even when Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith missed time at wide receiver or when Alvin Kamara skipped four games at running back, Montgomery rarely handled a significant offensive role. The lone exception was a Week 12 matchup with Buffalo, when the 29-year-old rushed six times for 14 yards while catching five of seven targets for 31 yards. Montgomery will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the league year, and it's uncertain whether New Orleans will bring him back for another season.

Ready for Week 18 Montgomery (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Impact Montgomery played through the back issue last week against the Panthers and will do so again in the final game of the regular season. The 28-year-old has only one offensive touch over the past three games and is unlikely to have a significant role Sunday, especially if Mark Ingram (knee), who's listed as questionable, is able to play.
JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Limited again Thursday Montgomery (back) was limited at practice again Thursday.
Impact Montgomery has now opened the week with consecutive limited showings at practice, though his participation does bode well for his ability to play Sunday considering he played through the injury last week. With teammate Mark Ingram (knee) unavailable for practice Thursday, the running back may be asked to play a larger role in the Saints' backfield in Week 18 if he's able to play.
JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE
Will be available Sunday Montgomery (back) is active for Sunday's contest against the Panthers, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.
Impact Montgomery didn't practice Thursday or Friday, but he will still be available for Week 17. Across 12 appearances this season, the hybrid wideout has totaled 15 catches for 94 yards and 14 rushes for 48 yards.
JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable against Panthers Montgomery (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.
Impact Montgomery fully participated in Wednesday's practice session but was held out Thursday and Friday due to a back injury. If he's unavailable against Carolina, Kenny Stills could see an uptick in playing time.
DECEMBER 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Doesn't practice Thursday Montgomery didn't participate in Thursday's practice session due to an ankle injury.
Impact Montgomery wasn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's practice, but he was unable to take the field Thursday. If he hopes to play Sunday against the Panthers, he'll likely need to practice in some capacity Friday.

Small role in return Montgomery was targeted twice but did not catch a pass during Sunday's 9-0 win over Tampa Bay.
Impact Montgomery was back in the lineup after missing Week 14 due to COVID-19, but he didn't see an increased role despite the absence of Deonte Harris (suspension). Instead, Marquez Callaway and Tre'Quan Smith hogged playing time at wide receiver while Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram led the way at running back. Montgomery hasn't been a fantasy option all season and there are no signs of that changing in Week 16 against Miami.

Gets off reserve/COVID-19 list The Saints activated Montgomery (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact Montgomery tested positive for the virus last Thursday, causing him to miss this past Sunday's win at the Jets. The Saints will now get another healthy body behind top running back Alvin Kamara, with Montgomery rejoining a group that also includes Tony Jones, Dwayne Washington and Adam Prentice. Meanwhile, Mark Ingram (illness) remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list as of Wednesday.

Goes on COVID-19 list The Saints will place Montgomery on the reserve/COVID-19 list after he tested positive for the virus Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Impact Though Yates' report indicates that Montgomery hasn't immediately been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, given the timing of the 28-year-old's positive test, he's highly unlikely to clear the necessary protocols in advance of the Saints' 1 p.m. ET kickoff for Week 14. His expected absence comes at a particularly unwelcome time, as Montgomery had just started to carve out more work on offense in a hybrid running back/receiver role. Though Alvin Kamara's (knee) expected return from a four-game absence Sunday likely would have limited his opportunities as a ball carrier moving forward, Montgomery looked like a leading candidate to earn a regular spot in three-receiver sets alongside Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway with Deonte Harris set to begin serving a three-game suspension this week. Lil'Jordan Humphrey (hamstring) now looks to be the next man up at receiver in place of Montgomery, who totaled nine receptions for 40 yards on 14 targets between the past two weeks.

Eight touches in Kamara's absence Montgomery rushed four times for 21 yards while catching four of seven targets for nine yards during Thursday's 27-17 loss to the Cowboys.
Impact Montgomery saw a heightened workload with Alvin Kamara (knee) on the shelf. However, Mark Ingram operated as the clear lead back and Montgomery wasn't able to do much with the touches he got. Should Kamara remain unavailable in Week 14 against the Jets, Montgomery would only be relevant as an emergency option in deep PPR formats.
