Lacy again not listed on injury report
James Starks practiced for the first time since his hip flared up after the Oct. 18 game against the San Diego Chargers. He took part in some of the individual drills during the early portion of practice. He did not practice on Wednesday but went through a workout.
Eddie Lacy is not listed on this week’s injury report, and McCarthy said the Pro Bowl running back is “starting to get back to himself.” When asked Thursday whether Lacy’s weight is impacting his performance, McCarthy said: “I would say not.” (ESPN)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Lacy and Starks are expected to split the workload in the backfield for Green Bay moving forward, but that seems like a longshot considering Starks’ injury history. The Packers have difficult upcoming games at Denver and Carolina over the next two weeks, but expect Lacy to start his second-half resurgence pretty soon if he is truly “starting to get back to himself”.
