Jets' D.J. Montgomery: Gets elevated Saturday
The Jets elevated Montgomery from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
With Jamison Crowder (calf) doubtful and Elijah Moore still on the COVID-19 list, Montgomery will be elevated for a second straight game. Last week, the 25-year-old wideout played eight offensive snaps but didn't receive any targets. He also played eight special team snaps, recording one tackle on the kick coverage unit. He will likely garner a similar role against the Buccaneers in Week 17.

Jets' D.J. Montgomery: Gets elevated Saturday
The Jets elevated Montgomery from the practice squad Saturday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Montgomery made an impact in his one previous elevation Week 14 against the Saints, hauling in three of six targets for 36 yards. Considering Jamison Crowder (calf) is doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Elijah Moore (quadriceps) is on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and Corey Davis (groin) is out for the season, Montgomery could mix into a receiving corps that also includes Keelan Cole, Denzel Mims, Braxton Berrios and Jeff Smith.

Montgomery reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Jets' D.J. Montgomery: Three catches in NFL debut
Montgomery made his regular-season debut and caught three of six targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 30-9 loss to New Orleans.
Montgomery didn't make much of an impact, and his production came after the game was well out of reach. With the Jets shorthanded at wide receiver, it wouldn't be surprising if they elevate Montgomery from the practice squad again in Week 15 against Miami before making a decision on whether to offer the 25-year-old wideout a contract.
