Packers | Ty Montgomery questionable for camp
Green Bay Packers WR Ty Montgomery (ankle) may not be ready for the start of training camp because of the ankle surgery he had during the season.
Footballguys View: The Packers are going to be cautious with Montgomery. The WR3 spot in Green Bay is up in the air with Davante Adams disappointing last season. Adams, Jeff Janis, Jared Abbrederis and Montgomery will all compete for that spot in 2016. Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb are the top two receivers.

Ohio State DE Joey Bosa said he believes he’s the best player in the 2016 NFL Draft and believes he can play in a 3-4 scheme or a 4-3 scheme. Bosa said he’d be more comfortable in a 4-3 scheme, at least initially, but he came to the NFL Scouting Combine ready to do linebacker pass-coverage drills knowing he could be relocated in a different scheme. Bosa could be an option for the Tennessee Titans at No. 1 overall.
