Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy was back at practice Wednesday. Lacy practiced on Monday as well and was declared a “full go” afterwards.
Burnett and Lacy, who practiced on Monday, were also practicing today. #Packers

Lacy is returning from a concussion injury suffered in the second game of the season against the Washington Redskins. On the season he has carried the ball just 15 times for 41 yards.
Running back Jonathan Franklin was also practicing today. Franklin got significant playing time in the loss to the Bengals. he carried the ball 13 times for 103 yards and a touchdown. He also had 3 receptions for 23 yards. The downside is that he did fumble once.
Jonathan Franklin was practicing today, so #Packers have 4 healthy backs. My guess is they would lean to Franklin on kickoff returns.

Who will get the Lions’ share of the carries this weekend against the Detroit Lions has yet to be decided. The Lions haven’t been particularly successful defending the run, they rank 20th in the NFL allowing 110.8 yards per game.
