GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The symptoms that kept Ty Montgomery out of the Green Bay Packers loss at Atlanta on Sunday are related to sickle cell trait -- a condition the receiver said he was diagnosed with previously.However, he said last week was the first time he experienced any issues.Sources told ESPN on Sunday that Montgomery had blood in his urine and the Packers kept him out for precautionary reasons.Montgomery said he and his doctors believe this was related to sickle cell trait, not a hit he sustained during a game, and dont think its career-threatening. In fact, Montgomery hasnt ruled out playing Sunday against the Colts at Lambeau Field.It doesnt concern me, Montgomery said Monday. A lot of people have sickle cell trait and some of them dont even know, and not everybody experiences symptoms of it. Im not concerned about anything.Sickle cell trait is the result of one inherited sickle cell gene and one normal gene, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People with the sickle cell trait usually dont exhibit symptoms of sickle cell disease. In rare cases, however, people with SCT might experience complications of SCD, such as pain crises, according to the CDCs website, which also noted that those with sickle cell trait are more likely to experience muscle breakdown when doing intense exercise than those who dont have the trait.Montgomery is at least the second NFL player to reveal recently that he has sickle cell trait . Arizona Cardinals receiver John Brown said he discovered he has it after a series of hamstring injuries.?Montgomery, a second-year pro who has played both running back and his natural receiver position this season, was coming off consecutive games with double-digit receptions and also rushed nine times for 60 yards in a Week 7 victory over the Bears. He would not say whether he was cleared to return to practice this week.Were just going to take it day by day, Montgomery said. So far, all signs lead to we feel confident to just take it day by day and play this week. So well see.Montgomerys agent, Damarius Bilbo, released a statement on his client:?My client Ty Montgomery has known he was a carrier for the sickle cell trait since he played at Stanford University. Prior to a couple of weeks ago, his health or performance had not been impacted by this hereditary blood disorder, directly or indirectly, but he did experience a complication after the Green Bay Packers Thursday night matchup against the Chicago Bears.After that matchup, Ty discovered the presence of blood in his urine. The doctors informed me that this symptom could be connected to his kidney being impacted. While already traveling to Dallas, Texas to visit family, he went to a local hospital to be evaluated. Ty spent 16 hours under observation between late Friday night and Saturday. Although not proven, there could be a link between his physical activity in the contest against the Bears, the impact on his kidney, and his disorder.The decision to rest him in the game against the Atlanta Falcons was a precautionary measure.

Nike Air Max Plus Billig . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. Rob Baxter insists Exeter must look at Sundays Aviva Premiership opponents Bath to see the ingredients missing from their own game this season.Successive defeats in Europe have all but ended the Chiefs hopes of reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions Cup, while on the domestic front they have posted only two victories in six outings.Last season they reached the knockout stage of both competitions, but Baxter knows Exeter have lacked intensity this term.Bath have a lot of resilience and that is a great quality to have - probably the quality we have lacked this season, if we are honest with ourselves, Baxter said.You can see they look very confident in themselves and that is often the best indicator of a team.They are happy to play effective rugby and dont feel they have to play end-to-end stuff.A last-gasp 19-18 defeat by Ulster last weekend has convinced Baxter, however, that Exeter are nudging themselves back on track.I think were seeing the team improve bit by bit, Baxter said.As a team I want us to take lots of little steps over the course of this season and not talk about all of a sudden there needs to be some kind of miracle because spport is not like that.ddddddddddddWhat we have to be prepared to do is work very hard and take lots of little steps, not just as individuals, but as a team.Ulster was an intense game of Champions Cup rugby, which it went right to the wire. For me, that shows how close we are.Obviously you always want accuracy, but the key foundations of us being a bit angry and a bit intense were there whereas they werent the week before.Bath, beaten Premiership finalists in 2015, have been reborn under new head coch Todd Blackadder and among the reasons behind their success has been the form of wing Semesa Rokoduguni.Rocco is one of those X factor players, but hes smart and intelligent as well, Blackadder said.Hes a mature guy so hes not going to do anything erratic. He can stay within systems on attack and within systems on defence. Roccos lightning quick and hes got the best feet Ive ever seen. If you give him a little bit of open space hes going to finish.In Sundays two other fixtures, Wasps host Newcastle and Sale visit Bristol. ' ' '
