[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 742066"] Well, it's not like cracked ribs are miraculously 100% after a couple of weeks. This is a particular issue with a guy who runs high as Montgomery does which may be how they got cracked in the first place. So, it's a "sure coach, I feel good, I can play" situation. What tends to be forgotten in the medical equation is that "how does it feel, do you think you can play?" is an essential element in this inexact science, so the player has a say in the matter. The MDs have probably ascertained he does not risk puncturing a lung with adequate body armor. So, based on these reports, I'd expect Montgomery to start. They don't expect to give him the full boat of snaps as in the early games where he led the league in RB snap % because, obviously, he's not 100%. He could cruise along for awhile without incident if he looks right. Or he could be gone after the first series. If he changes his running style to protect the ribs, consciously or unconsciously, he won't be effective and plan B would be in order. If he takes a hit and gets a shot of pain, that would shut him down for the day. [/QUOTE]
