Source: Pack worried about RB Eddie Lacy who is 'very sore'

Oct 18, 2016

The Green Bay Packers are concerned about the health of running back Eddie Lacy and his availability for Thursday night's game against the Chicago Bears, according to a source.

Lacy was the only active halfback for the Packers in their 30-16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. He was playing with a sprained left ankle and was held to just 65 yards on 17 carries.

He didn't practice Monday and will miss practice again on Tuesday, coach Mike McCarthy said, adding that Lacy was "very sore."

"I can't see him playing'' against the Bears, the source told ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

Lacy's availability for Thursday night might have played a role in motivating general manager Ted Thompson to make his first player trade since 2010, getting Knile Davis from the Chiefs. The Packers also will promote rookie running back Don Jackson from the practice squad for Thursday night, a source told ESPN's Rob Demovsky. The plan is for Jackson to be active Thursday night against the Bears so the Packers are not left with just one natural halfback, as they were against the Cowboys.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
