GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Ty Montgomery can line up split wide on one play for the Green Bay Packers and take a handoff the next as a running back.Hes listed as a receiver on the roster, but lately Montgomery has spent just as much time in the backfield.In just two games, Montgomery has gone from non-factor to key contributor in Green Bay.I guess Im a hybrid, Montgomery said. I dont really know what you call it. I like to say Im a football player, because I feel comfortable anywhere.Its a good thing for the Packers that Montgomery is comfortable enough in the backfield . They would have been in dire straits without him in last weeks 26-10 win over the Chicago Bears.Eddie Lacy is on injured reserve with a left ankle injury. Backup James Starks remains sidelined with a knee injury.Rookie Don Jackson, who had just been elevated to the practice squad before the Bears game, hurt his left hand in that contest and didnt play after the second quarter. Newly acquired Knile Davis is still getting up to speed on the Packers offense after being traded from Kansas City.That left Montgomery taking the majority of snaps at running back. Its similar to the all-purpose role that Randall Cobb plays in certain formations, though with much more frequency.For Montgomery, that means having to be well-versed in the playbook in two positions.I dont know how he does it, to be honest, Jackson said Thursday, because thats a lot of information, and I struggle with this one.Experience helps, even if it is just Montgomerys second season in the NFL.Montgomery, who missed practice Thursday because of illness, had some success in a change-of-pace look out of the backfield before an ankle injury in Week 6 sidelined him for the season. He was an all-purpose star in college at Stanford, where he caught 172 passes for 2,215 yards and 15 touchdowns in his career, along with 334 yards and four scores on nine carries.Montgomery and Cobb have both taken snaps in the backfield this year before injuries sidelined Lacy and Starks. Now Montgomery is playing more of a featured role out of the backfield, at least perhaps until Davis is ready to take on more carries.Montgomery has 10 catches in each of the last two games after not having a reception in the Packers first four. With Montgomery effective on routes in the flat or as a check-down option, short passes have helped make up for a lack of rushing attack.You cant really say hes a running back, hes a receiver. Hes just a versatile football player whos very successful at what hes able to do, offensive coordinator Edgar Bennett said. Hes a matchup nightmare for a lot of different teams.CLAYS DAYLinebacker Clay Matthews was limited Thursday after missing practice Wednesday with a hamstring injury. Matthews missed a game earlier this year with ankle and hamstring injuries in the same week. The Packers, who had their bye in Week 4, are coming off a long weekend after playing on Thursday night last week. Green Bay plays 10 straight weeks through the end of the season.So, I think were just being smart and cautious, especially with this 10-game run in which we have, Matthews said. Youd hate for something to happen and be out several weeks.ON THE MOVEThe Packers waived Jared Abbrederis on Thursday after reaching an injury settlement with the receiver. Abbrederis (quad) had been placed on injured reserve Monday. An in-state resident who starred in college at Wisconsin, Abbrederis was a fifth-round draft pick in 2014. But his Packers career was marked by injuries. Abbrederis had one catch for 8 yards this season, and 10 catches for 119 yards in his career.INJURY REPORTT.J. Lang (hip) missed practice Thursday after being limited Wednesday, though the veteran guard sounded optimistic about playing against Atlanta. Lang said hes dealt with a lingering hip issue the couple years, but the injury flared up a little more this season. ... Cobb (hamstring) was limited. ... Jackson was a full participant for a second straight day.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAPNike Air Max 200 Nederland .

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. http://www.airmaxkopennederland.com/uitverkoop-air-max-98/uitverkoop-max-98-heren.html . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday.

Siddikur, whose previous win on the circuit came in Brunei three years ago, finished his bogey-free round with a birdie on the 18th for a total of 17-under 199. Indias Shiv Chowrasia, who has finished runner-up in this tournament twice, was in second place after a 66.Barisal Bulls 130 for 4 (Perera 34*, Nabil 1-12) beat Comilla Victorians 129 for 8 (Samuels 48, Hider 2-34) by six wicketsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsBarisal Bulls opened their account in this seasons BPL with a six-wicket win over Comilla Victorians, whose fight fizzled out during a fourth-wicket stand of 49 between Mushfiqur Rahim amd Thisara Perera, which sealed the contest. Comilla, the defending champions, remain winless and would be worried by a brittle batting line-up, though bowling seems to be their strength.Set 130 to win, Barisal opener Dilshan Munaweera struck two pleasing fours before getting caught at mid-off in the fifth over but Dawid Malan quickly restored the pressure with two boundaries in the same over. Mashrafe Mortaza and Nabil Samad then bowled six overs to give away just 26 runs, increasing the required run rate from 6.87 to 8.55. It resulted in Shamsurs laboured 26-ball 16 ending up in the hands of long-on in the 11th over.Mushfiqur broke the boundary drought with a slog-swept six in the 12th over, before Malan edged his third boundary in the following over from Sharif, though he was immediately caught off the next ball at cover for 26. With Mashrafe finishing his spell (0/21) with Barisal needing 52 off the last six overs, Mushfiqur and Thisara Perera struck boundaries off Sharif and Tanvir. They wrested back control of the game when they strucck one six each off Imad, who conceded 17 runs in the 17th over.ddddddddddddTheir fourth-wicket stand ended when Mushfiqur faintly edged Tanvir to the keeper, but he got them closer to the win with his 23-ball 33. Perera eased Barisals nerves with two boundaries in the penultimate over, completing the win with nine balls to spare.Comilla could have slipped further from 73 for 6 in the 14th over, if it wasnt for the 38-run seventh-wicket partnership between Marlon Samuels and Sohail Tanvir.Samuels - who came to bat after both openers fell within 3.5 overs - was involved in the run-outs of Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Imad Wasim, and saw Liton Das and Nahidul Islam fall meekly. So he had to get Comilla out of trouble. He started off the seventh-wicket stand with two fours off Al-Amin Hossain and nearly blew Thisara Perera away with a straight hit.Tanvir got into the act with a whack over midwicket for his first six. Mahedi Hasan dropped him on 13 in the 18th over, a sitter that ended up hitting him on the face, before hitting the floor. After Samuels departed for a run-a-ball 48, Tanvir struck two sixes over long-on in the last over, his unbeaten 30 off 19 balls giving Comilla the late runs that often make the difference but this time ended in futility.
