Packers RB Eddie Lacy (ankle) doesn't practice Tuesday

Oct 18, 2016

Packers running back Eddie Lacy will not practice Tuesday due to ankle soreness, head coach Mike McCarthy said.

This typically wouldn't be all too alarming, considering it's early in a traditional week. But the Packers will take on the Bears on Thursday night, which means it's a short week, and a smaller window for Lacy to get back to feeling good enough to go.

Lacy was a question mark before Sunday's contest with an ankle injury, and though he showed enough strength to lift his 234-pound body over defenders not once, but twice, the wear of the game again has him up in the air (pun unintended) for Green Bay's next game.

Fantasy Impact:

Desperate for backfield depth, the Packers traded for Kansas City running back Knile Davis on Tuesday morning. If Lacy can't go, and with James Starks out, Davis could be a quick contributor at running back. This is a situation to keep an eye on.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
