Packers’ Montgomery Misses Practice; Bennett Defends Brother

Green Bay Packers’ running back Ty Montgomery sat out of Tuesday’s practice with he called a minor “soft tissue” injury in his lower body. He did not specify where the injury occurred — he’s had it “on and off” — and he has not thought about the idea of missing Saturday night’s exhibition at Washington. Also, rookie receiver DeAngelo Yancey missed Tuesday’s pratice with a groin issue — and rookie safety Josh Jones left after hurting an ankle. In the locker room, Packers’ tight end Martellus Bennett said his brother Michael was “awesome” for taking a stand in which the Seattle defensive end sat during the national anthem before a preseason game last weekend. The Packers’ Bennett says he wants a better future for his kids, and he shouldn’t have to worry about what he called “lynch mobs” in Virginia following last weekend’s white supremacist protest.
