The Green Bay Packers lost more than just their season opener against the Seattle Seahawks last Thursday. In the loss, the Packers saw running back Eddie Lacy get concussed and have to leave the game, something that has carried over into this week.

Lacy was questionable heading into practice this week and was out until he could pass the concussion protocol test. That’s a test he passed this week and is now cleared to play against the Jets on Sunday.

This is great news not only for Lacy but for fantasy owners who have Lacy on their team but were uncertain of his status this Sunday. He may not be 100 percent there, but he’s not concussed and he’s going up against a jets team that might crack under the pressure of playing the far superior Packers.
Of course, Lacy is still a wild card in the Packers offense as his Week 1 performance wasn’t up to snuff with where he was but he may get there Week 2 against the Jets now that he’s cleared to play.
