Michael returning to Packers

March 23, 2017 By Bill Scott

Running back Christian Michael is returning to the Green Bay Packers.  Although the Packers didn’t announce an agreement, ESPN.com is reporting that it’s a done deal.

Michael’s return gives the Packers three halfbacks heading into next months NFL Draft.  He is joined by Ty Montgomery and Don Jackson.

The Packers are expected to add to that group in the draft, as well as signing an undrafted free agent or two to compete for a roster spot.

Michael played in nine games with the Packers, including three playoff games.  He totaled 47 carries for 172 yards and a touchdown.

The Packers lost Eddie Lacy in free agency after he signed a one-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks.

Eddie Lacy headed for Seattle

March 14, 2017 By Bill Scott

Eddie Lacy

Eddie Lacy’s four year run in Green Bay ended today when the former Alabama running back agreed to a 1-year free agent contract worth a reported $5.5 million with the Seattle Seahawks.

The Packers said they were interested in bringing Lacy back for another season, but just like with other players, it was going to be at their price.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Lacy’s weighed 267 pounds for one of the three teams he visited during free agency.  The Packers were one of the three, with Seattle and Minnesota being the others. [Read more…]

Packers release RB James Starks

February 7, 2017 By Bill Scott

James Starks

The Green Bay Packers parted company with veteran running back James Starks on Tuesday.

Starks was a sixth-round pick in 2010 and started as a rookie in Super bowl XLV, but he rushed for just 145 yards and averaged just 2.3 yards per carry in nine games last season.

Starks didn’t clear the concussion protocol and missed the NFC Championship game loss in Atlanta.  Starks also missed four games earlier in the season with a knee injury.

The Packers had signed Starks to a two-year, $6 million contract prior to the start of last season. [Read more…]

The Green Bay Packers used their injured reserve designated-to-return option on rookie cornerback Makinton Dorleant, ending the seasons of running back Eddie Lacy and defensive back Sam Shields.

There had been the thought that either Lacy or Shields would return to the Packers regular roster at some point this season, but that won’t happen now.

“It’s unfortunate for Eddie and it’s unfortunate for Sam, but based on all the medical information and the conversations to this point, that’s where we are,” said Packers coach Mike McCarthy.

Lacy had surgery on his left ankle on Oct. 19, three days after re-injuring it in a loss to the Dallas Cowboys. [Read more…]

Randall to miss several weeks after groin surgery

October 24, 2016 By Bill Scott

packers-logoThe Green Bay Packers will go into Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons without another one of their cornerbacks.

Starter Damarious Randall had surgery to repair a groin injury over the weekend.  Randall is expected to miss four to six weeks.

Randall posted photos of himself in Philadelphia on Snapchat over the weekend.  That’s where he had the surgery done, by core muscle surgeon Dr. William Meyers.  Meyers has operated on several Packers players over the years and is considered the nation’s premier sports hernia surgeon.

The Packers are already without top corner Sam Shields, who was placed on injured reserve last week after missing four games with a concussion.  Shields could come back in eight weeks but he could also be done for the season. [Read more…]

Strong second half leads Packers to victory (AUDIO)

Down several players going into the game, the Green Bay Packers showed signs of starting to come out of their shell but had to settle for a pair of first half field goals.

The Chicago Bears actually took the lead early in the third quarter when outside linebacker Leonard Floyd recovered Aaron Rodgers fumble in the end zone for a touchdown and a 10-6 lead.

That’s when the Packers would kick things in gear.  Rodgers tossed three second half touchdown passes to lead Green Bay to a 26-10 come-from-behind win.

Rodgers completed 39 of 56 for 326 yards and three touchdowns, surpassing 300 yards for just the second time in the last 12 games.  The 39 completions is a new franchise record for Rodgers, surpassing the previous record of 36, which was held by Brett Favre. [Read more…]

Packers place Lacy on I.R.

The Green Bay Packers have placed running back Eddie Lacy on Injured Reserve on Thursday with the chance to return later this season.

Lacy is expected to undergo foot surgery and if all goes well, could return to the active roster after eight weeks.

The Packers also placed defensive back Sam Shields on Injured Reserve with a designation for return, but if Lacy rejoins the team, Shields would have to sit out the rest of the season.

Both Lacy and fellow running back James Starks are out now, which prompted the Packers to trade a conditional draft pick to the Kansas City Chiefs for running back Knile Davis on Tuesday.

With Lacy’s roster spot, the Packers have promoted rookie running back Don Jackson from the practice squad and he’ll also be in uniform for tonight’s game against the Chicago Bears.

Packers face Bears at Lambeau Field tonight

The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears hook for the 193rd time on Thursday night at Lambeau Field in what is the oldest rivalry in the NFL.

Both teams are playing on a short week and both teams are missing several key players for tonight’s game.

The Packers have ruled seven players as “OUT”, including running back Eddie Lacy who is expected to miss a few weeks and perhaps even longer.  Lacy left Sunday’s loss against Dallas with an ankle injury in the third quarter.

If Lacy misses several weeks, he could be placed on injured reserve with a return in eight weeks.  Defensive back Sam Shields is already on I.R. with a designation to return and the Packers are only allowed to bring back one player once they’re placed on injured reserve. [Read more…]

Packers offense is a mess in 30-16 loss to Dallas

October 17, 2016 By Bill Scott

Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers

A week ago, Mike McCarthy’s Green Bay Packers were 3-1 and he felt he didn’t need to explain what was up with the offense after putting up 400 yards in a win over the Giants.  Many of his players followed suit, either not believing they had issues, or weren’t willing to discuss it with reporters.

After Sunday’s 30-16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, coach and players weren’t nearly as combative.  They admitted they have issues but didn’t offer any thoughts on how to fix the problems.

The Packers turned the ball over four times in the loss.  Aaron Rodgers threw his third interception in the last two weeks.  He also fumbled twice, losing one after trying to run a quarterback keeper on first and goal at the four yard line, ending a golden opportunity for the Packers to try to score a touchdown.

Green Bay Packers number-one corner Sam Shields has taken another step in the teams concussion protocol.

Shields isn’t expected to play against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, but he is taking part in meetings and making progress according to head coach Mike McCarthy.

Shields hasn’t practiced since week one.

Eddie Lacy / Starks

Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy, who hurt his ankle early in the second half of Sunday’s game against the Giants, practiced on a limited basis.    There’s no word on whether not Lacy will be able to play on Sunday.

Lacy has rushed for 295 yards on 54 carries so far this season, averaging 5.5 yards per carry.

Fellow running back James Starks missed the practice due to an undisclosed injury.
