Lacy Struggling in 2015

Prior to exiting Green Bay's game against the Panthers, Lacy rushed five times for 10 yards. James Starks, meanwhile, had 10 carries and 39 yards in the loss. 

Lacy, 25, experienced a tough start to his 2015 season, injuring his ankle during the Packers' Week 2 win over the Seattle Seahawks.

The physical, bruising running back showed that he is capable of staying on the field despite knocks during his first two years in the league. He's been a valuable asset in the red zone, as he's rushed for 22 scores in his career.

Thanks to his ability to find the end zone, as well as his development into a solid passing target out of the backfield, Lacy has become an important part of quarterback Aaron Rodgers' high-powered offense.
