The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... HC Mike McCarthy confirmed Thursday at the NFL scouting combine that Lacy has consulted with P90X founder Tony Horton since the end of the season. McCarthy had called out Lacy last month and said that Lacy must lose weight. "Eddie will take care of business," McCarthy said. "I have great confidence that he will. I think we'll see definitely a different guy in April, and more importantly in July."

Since the end of the season, McCarthy fired running backs coach Sam Gash and hired Ben Sirmans to replace him. Meanwhile, Lacy began a program with Horton that is expected to continue well into the offseason. According to a source, Lacy has spent time in Wyoming for several weeks and he's committed to going through the program, which will continue in California and run until the offseason program starts in April. McCarthy disputed a report that said that Lacy, who is listed at 5-11 and 234 pounds, was 30 pounds overweight, but declined to reveal what Lacy weighed last season, when he rushed for only 758 yards following consecutive 1,100-yard seasons to start his NFL career.
