“I’d love to see him back,” said McCarthy, who added that the team won’t decide whether to re-sign Lacy until he “clears the medical threshold.”
Lacy cleared the 1,100-yard threshold his first two seasons. In '15, he was injured and overweight. In '16, he was just plain injured, missing 11 games. His rookie contract expires this year and the Packers have a big decision to make.
In other Packer running back news, Ty Montgomery is now a permanent running back. He had some success in '16, on the rare occasions that Green Bay actually ran the ball, but his durability worries me. I don't care how many times play-by-play guys tell me he weighs 220 pounds, I find it a) hard to believe and b) I cringe every time he takes a big hit because he looks so slight. As for the other Packers back, James Starks, I think his time in Green Bay is likely done. He missed the stretch run with a concussion suffered in a car accident and he wasn't very good when he did play.
