Even after trainers re-taped Eddie Lacy's right ankle, the Green Bay Packers running back was taken to the locker room for further evaluation late in the first quarter of Sunday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
The Packers said his return was questionable.
Lacy was taken to the locker room on a cart. Initially, it appeared Lacy was going to return to the game after Dr. Pat McKenzie examined him on the sideline.
Lacy did not return to the game after picking up one yard on a toss play to convert a third-and-1 on the game's opening drive. Two plays later, Aaron Rodgers hit James Jones for a 29-yard touchdown for the game's first score.
Other reports said Lacy was unable to put pressure on the ankle even after getting it taped again. James Starks replaced Lacy. With rookie Alonzo Harris inactive, the Packers brought only two halfbacks into the game. If Lacy misses time, Starks could prove to be a valuable pickup.
