Packers RB Lacy feeling lighter, better after workouts (The Associated Press)

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- With less weight and more burst, Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy is feeling good.

He's not done yet.

Four months after coach Mike McCarthy called him out publicly for playing at too heavy of a weight last season, Lacy took part in the Packers' first open-to-the-public organized team activity practice of the spring Tuesday. He appeared lighter and Lacy made it clear that his offseason diet and workout changes paid dividends.

''I feel like I handled it well and I held up my end of the bargain,'' Lacy said.
