2 years agoNew England Patriots running back Pierre Strong Jr. (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice. The Patriots placed running back Ty Montgomery (knee) on the injured reserve Wednesday, sidelining him for at least three games. The 23-year-old could see an uptick in usage but remains behind top options, Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson. According to Mike Reiss of ESPN, Strong is a candidate to contribute as a pass-catcher out of the Patriots' backfield in the coming weeks. He was inactive in Week 1 but is on track to suit up in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Strong can be stashed in deep-league formats while Montgomery is sidelined.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
