The Packers suffered a huge blowout loss to the Seahawks to the tune of 36-16 Thursday night, and the team faces more bad news this morning. Starting RB Eddie Lacy has been diagnosed with a concussion according to head coach Mike McCarthy.
Lacy was only able to rush 12 times for 34 times, as he couldn’t find any room to run against the stifling Seahawks defense. Lacy also missed a game last season due to concussion. The team even attempted to equip Lacy with a new helmet to prevent any head injury but to no avail.
Eddie Lacy was wearing new Riddell helmet (SpeedFlex), which company says helps better absorb impact force. He left game with concussion.
