Any hope of Ty Montgomery returning this season was snuffed out with the report that the New England Patriots veteran running back underwent season-ending shoulder surgery.
The Boston Globe’s Jim McBride reported the news on Wednesday.
Montgomery went down with a knee injury in the Patriots’ preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders back in August. He was ultimately placed on injured reserve with the hope that he’d return later in the season.
However, as time went on and he remained out of the lineup, there were growing concerns that he’d suffered some kind of a setback.
