Alabama running back Eddie Lacy will not participate in workouts at this week's NFL scouting combine due to a hamstring injury, according to a league source. While running the 40-yard dash in a mock combine event last week at IMG, Lacy strained his hamstring, which resulted in swelling, soreness and discomfort. Doctors examined Lacy and conducted an MRI that revealed he suffered a small tear in some tissue around the hamstring. The doctors, trainers and performance trainers have indicated Lacy would not be able to resume training or be completely healthy to give a representative workout in time for the combine. Lacy will rehab aggressively and resume training in order to hopefully perform all drills at Alabama's Pro Day on March 13. Source: ESPN.com
no way would i spend a high draft pick on a 'good' but not great running back who is probably going to be often injured ...
A good RB behind a great Alabama O-Line in addition. The National Championship game seems to have clouded a lot of judgement.
