Eddie Lacy gritted through 17 carries for 65 yards on a bum ankle but was still being evaluated as Head Coach Mike McCarthy spoke to the media early Monday afternoon. Backup James Starks had knee surgery on Sunday and is out for now with a timetable to be determined.
Ty Montgomery served as the No. 2 back in the 30-16 loss to the Cowboys and is in line for a bigger role on offense in general after catching 10 passes for 98 yards.
But McCarthy wouldn’t say whether or not another true running back, such as practice-squad rookie Don Jackson, would be added by Thursday.
