Green Bay Packers running back DuJuan Harris is back with the team and practicing in full. Harris has been rehabbing a minor knee injury and missed the opening of training camp and the team's first preseason game. He was activated off the PUP list on Aug. 12, but missed the team's recent preseason win over the St. Louis Rams.

Now, Harris is back practicing with the team, and the Packers have made him the starter, on top of that. According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Harris took first-team reps, while rookies Eddie Lacy and Johnathan Franklin took the second- and third-team reps.
Most have figured that Lacy is going to win the starting job, but the Packers seem insistent on giving Harris a fair shake at things. That running back situation is interesting, to say the least.
Fantasy Impact: In the end, the Packers will probably have one or two productive running backs. They might even be good picks down the line as the season approaches. That said, nobody has any clue how this thing is going to shake down right now, and you absolutely should not be drafting Lacy or Harris until it’s figured out.
