Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy "went through his rehab" for a sprained ankle, and will do individual drills on Friday, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky.
Eddie Lacy will do individual drills Friday, fantasy status uncertain
Eddie Lacy has an extra day to get ready for Week 3, but his availability remains unclear. We break down the fantasy implications.
Demovsky's information comes from head coach Mike McCarthy, who has the advantage of giving Lacy an extra day of rest with the team not playing until Monday night. Lacy has a Saturday practice on the horizon to show he can do more, and the capacity he displays during that session will likely determine his status for Monday's bout with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy impact: The fact that Lacy is returning to practice at a limited capacity bodes well for him, although fantasy owners who do not have James Starks handy would be taking a big risk starting Lacy due to the late time slot. Lacy is shaping up to be a game-time decision, so any information regarding his status before then is welcome.
If Lacy is good to go, he is worth penning into lineups all across the fantasy spectrum. If he sits, James Starks has RB1 potential even against a formidable Chiefs front seven.
