The Green Bay Packers got off to a hot start in their “Thursday Night Football” matchup with the rival Chicago Bears.
But it wasn’t all good for the Packers, as one of their key players reportedly suffered a serious injury.
Running back Ty Montgomery, who has turned into a quality running back after transitioning from wide receiver, reportedly suffered broken ribs during the first quarter of the game, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.

This would be a devastating injury for the Packers, as Montgomery gives the Packers the threat of a running game and makes the game easier on quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Aaron Jones, Devante Mays and Jamaal Williams are the three other running backs on Green Bay’s roster.
