Eddie Lacy (hamstring) isn’t expected to play tonight against Arizona.  DuJuan Harris hasn’t practiced yet, although he said yesterday that he felt he could go at any time.

James Starks, Alex Green and Johnathan Franklin are expected to get the bulk of the action.

Tonight’s game kicks off at 7pm at Lambeau Field.
