Lacy's Lambeau leaps over would-be tacklers last Sunday keep coming to mind. A guy that big treating his bad ankle to that impact was less than genius. Playing Lacy at all was probably less than smart. But relying on two battered big bodies for your running back squad for 2016 takes the cake. Starks and Lacy have been injured regularly the past three seasons.
I would guess its easier on his ankle than his spin move.
Moreover, I hear Knave Davis is injury prone.
Gawd. This is the shits.
I had soooo much fun going to the Giants game and days later, this.
i don't think any Packers official has said anything about several weeks...yet.
Maybe not, but I think the trade itself speaks to the urgency of the need. Lacy certainly can't go on a short week, and if we want him around for the stretch drive I'm guessing he is going to need at least a couple weeks to let that thing heal. If you keep bringing him back out at 80%, he's going to keep re-aggravating it.
Oh good, the m3 fan base now has their injury excuse for the year

Lacy likely IR
Leroy usually seems fairly plugged in to what's going on so we'll have to see what happens with Lacy.
The cupboard is bare.
Lacy to ir would be devastating
I said in the Dallas game thread that TT and stubby were trying to wreck Lacy for the season or more. How anyone can still have faith in stubby and TT is beyond me. As i've said in the past. They are perfectly happy with the status quo and saving money.
still hasn't brought up Jackson from the ps. wonder if theyre trying to get a real starter from someone.
I understand the value of RBs...my fantasy team has David Johnson, Melvin Gordon, Lamar Miller and Demarco Murray.
I wish TT would play more fantasy football.
What a fucking mess.
If the Packers lose to the Bears tonight, it will have turned into a complete https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i..._-bVuovcBBOW2g show.

ESPN reports Eddie Lacy is back close to the "255 to 265 pounds" he played at last season.
Lacy has looked "husky" the last several weeks, but he was still performing very well on the field before going down with an ankle injury. Perhaps the ankle issue can be attributed to his weight, but the extra pounds certainly were not affecting his play on the field. Even so, Lacy's inability to stay in shape and healthy likely means the Packers will let him test the free-agent waters next spring.

Lacy undergoing surgery...placed on ir!
Ugh.

Packers placed RB Eddie Lacy (ankle surgery) on injured reserve.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Packers don't yet know if Lacy's operation is season-ending, or if he'll be able to return in eight weeks. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports Lacy has "more than an ankle sprain." It's a brutal loss for a team with zero backfield depth. Despite continued weight issues, Lacy was averaging 5.07 yards per carry. With James Starks (knee surgery) out 3-4 more weeks, the Packers are moving forward with a "backfield" of WR Ty Montgomery, Don Jackson and Knile Davis. Randall Cobb could also see carries. Often banged up and typically out of shape, there's a chance contract-year Lacy has played his last down for the Packers.

I'm for starting over at RB. Lacy has been impressive in most games this year, but I don't see a long career with Big Eddie.
Which would be a shame. When Rodgers was out with his collarbone break, Lacy carried the Packers. It was refreshing to have one of the top RBs in the league, and certainly the best since Ahman Green.
Not looking forward to another RB drought. And no, I don't consider Ryan Grant to be in Lacy's tier. He was fast, but he disappeared a lot too.
there was just a guy on nfln saying the whole offseason weight loss was complete BS and that lacy never got below 250, and didn't get within 10 or 15 pounds of the target weight the team set for him
on behalf of myself and PB i would like to take this time to say "WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO!!". we didn't buy into the horse shit the team had their mouthpieces spreading all over the media. we used our eyes since back in preseason to see that the guy was still a fat slob
I thought the report was that he was now back to his pre-weight loss weight. If what you say is true I don't see how the Packers could sign him this year. Damn shame too. Bell was a bigger back coming out of msu and while he has had his struggles in other areas he has improved his physique since college.
