Montgomery has had bouts with sickle cell anemia in the past, including last Summer. Apparently, it is a condition where the symptoms are exacerbated by heat/dehydration. It raises the possibility that Montgomery is being shelved for medical reasons other than injury, such as for pain and/or clots. Or, maybe the team is just being proactive regarding Monty's risk factors and Summer weather. This is a very serious medical condition but it can be managed with reasonable success.

If Monty's current condition is disease related then I can understand MM's vague description of the problem. Not that he's all that forthcoming regarding injuries, anyway. But comments regarding a hereditary medical condition would seem to fall under a separate category than the usual discussion of a player's physical injuries.
