GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers placed defensive end Michael Montgomery on injured reserve Saturday and re-signed wide receiver Chris Francies from its practice squad.
Montgomery, the Packers' first of two choices during the sixth round of the 2005 NFL draft, sustained a knee injury during practice the week before the team's victory last Sunday at San Francisco.
Francies, a rookie from Texas-El Paso, had spent seven weeks on the Green Bay roster before rejoining the practice squad last week, when the team acquired wide receiver Carlyle Holiday.
Taking Francies' spot on the practice squad is offensive tackle Travis Leffew, who also spent the first 11 weeks of the 2006 season on Green Bay's practice squad.
