Getting treatment inside Lambeau Field, Adams heard the roars of fans. Over the weekend, the running back opted to stay away from the field and take as much time to recuperate.
The bad news for anyone tangentially interested in their health is we don’t get to find out who’s in and who’s out until about 6:30 p.m. on Monday night. He credited his adrenaline, and the fact he couldn’t stand watching the game on TV in the training room. More than likely this means that he will be just fine to play for the Packers against the Chiefs, which is big news for Aaron Rodgers and the offense.
“Unfortunately we had an injury, he had to step in”. “That’s the kind of player that we thought he would be”. Lacy has been solid thus far in 2015, rushing for 94 yards on 4.2 yards per carry with a touchdown. He played through the injury against the Seahawks, though he was noticeably less effective than normal.
This injury was different.

Lacy labeled the injury a “day-to-day thing”. “If I wake up tomorrow and I don’t feel like I went backwards, then rehab is definitely going to make it feel better for game time”. Burnett missed the season opener against Chicago and the Bears gained 189 yards on the ground.
