GREEN BAY, Wis. -- As he lay on the ground, Ty Montgomery caught several passes thrown by wide receivers coach Luke Getsy from in front of and behind the young Green Bay receiver Sunday.Even on what was supposed to be a day off for him from practice, Montgomery didnt feel compelled to just stand around as his teammates worked.Finally back on the field after missing most of his rookie season in 2015 because of an ankle injury, Montgomery is playing catch-up as he tries to win back a roster spot.Im excited to be a part of this competition right now, Montgomery said after practice Sunday.The belated debut of Montgomery in training camp last week added to whats already been a highly competitive preseason battle among a deep pool of candidates at receiver.And the return of Montgomery may have come at a good time since the Packers are without Jeff Janis for at least this week.Janis suffered a broken right hand in practice Wednesday and didnt play Green Bays first preseason game two days later. The third-year pro watched Sundays practice with a cast on the injured hand.The indefinite loss of Janis, who had a breakout game in the playoffs last season, comes as the Packers still are waiting on veteran standout Jordy Nelson (knee) to be activated from the physically unable to perform list.After Nelson and fellow starter Randall Cobb, the Packers have several candidates making their case for the few remaining receiver spots to be filled for the start of the season next month.Its very, very competitive, but thats what you want, Montgomery said. You know for a fact that the guys that do make the team are going to be really good guys, going to be some playmakers.Montgomery hopes to be making plays again for Green Bay after his extended layoff from football.Taken in the third round of the draft, Montgomery played only the first six games last season before he sustained what turned out to be a severe ankle injury in a win over the Chargers on Oct. 18.Montgomery had surgery on the ankle in December and spent the entire offseason as well as the first two weeks of training camp in recovery mode.Though he felt a little rusty, Montgomery cherished the chance to play again in the 17-11 win over the Browns on Friday after he started practicing earlier in the week.Most volume (of work) Ive had since I had the surgery, including last week, too, Montgomery said. But it felt good to get back out there. I was excited.He had only one catch against the Browns, but the reception for 7 yards still was significant since Montgomery last caught a pass in a game 10 months ago as Green Bays No. 3 receiver.Its good to see him back, and hes looking like hes pretty healthy, too, Getsy said.And, as he showed Sunday with his drill work on the side as Getsy threw passes from different angles to the prone receiver, Montgomery isnt resting in the fight to win a job.I was just grateful to be back out there, he said about playing Friday. Its the first time its been taken away from me for that long.Game notesBackup QB Brett Hundley practiced Sunday. The second-year player had been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury in practice Aug. 1. Cobb and linebackers Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers also practiced after not playing Friday. Cobb (calf) and Matthews (ankle) were injured last week. S Morgan Burnett (back) didnt practice Sunday. First-year offensive lineman Matt Rotheram (bicep) had his left arm in a sling after playing Friday. ... The Packers placed long snapper Jesse Schmitt (broken hand) on injured reserve and signed undrafted rookie center Kyle Steuck, a Green Bay native. Its sweet, its really cool, kind of surreal, a dream come true, said Steuck, who played at Division II Northern Michigan.

He was even happier to show off his scoring touch in his first game at Clemson.Reed scored 19 points, including seven straight during a crucial second-half stretch, to lead the Tigers to a 74-64 victory over Georgia at re-opened Littlejohn Coliseum on Friday night.It felt great to go out there and compete against somebody else besides my teammates who Ive been playing against every day for a year, said Reed, who transferred to Clemson from Robert Morris.Reed was an instant hit at Littlejohn, which underwent a $63.5 million renovation since it last hosted a game in March 2015.After Georgia (0-1) cut a double-digit deficit to 51-48 on two William Jackson II 3-pointers with 10 minutes left, Reed went off on his run to restore Clemsons margin.Reed hit a jumper, then stole the ball from J.J. Frazier and powered in for another basket. Moments later, he nailed a three and the Tigers were ahead 60-50. The Bulldogs never got closer than seven points the rest of the way.Hes one of those wild dogs, youve got to let him hunt. Youve got to let him loose, Clemson coach Brad Brownell said of his transfer guard.Reed was the Northeast Conference rookie of the year in 2914-15, averaging 15.1 points a game for the Colonials. His run included 21 points that season in a loss at Clemson.When we were coming out the huddle, I told my team, `Weve got to find a way to get a bucket, said Reed, a 6-foot-3 sophomore.

Reed led the way with 19 followed by Gabe DeVoe with 15, Jaron Blossomgame with 13 and Avry Holmes with 10.NOT SO SOLID EFFORTGeorgia coach Mark Fox was not happy about much he saw from his team against Clemson. He said the offense failed to make plays when it counted and his defense was nowhere near tough enough to win a game like this on the road. We set the game back with our lack of poise, Fox said.FIRST GAME JITTERSBrownell, Clemsons seventh-year coach, acknowledged a bit of anxiety over wanting to win the first game in his redone arena. He and others in the athletic department had spent significant time the past few years pushing for the renovations and knew it would be difficult to explain a first-game loss before a packed crowd of 9,000.
