The Facts: HC Mike McCarthy has received promising reports on Lacy's off-season plan to shed some weight. We've heard about the Packers running back's workouts with PX90 founder Tony Horton in California. Now comes this photo of Lacy with a fan in California. Jeff Engen said he met Lacy March 17 at the Nobu restaurant in Malibu – eating sushi. "He looked really fit and looked like he lost a lot of weight," Engen wrote in an email to the Journal Sentinel. "Eddie was eating fish, was really friendly and conducting himself as a class act."

McCarthy called out Lacy in his season-ending news conference Jan. 18, saying he “cannot play at the weight that he played at this year." But McCarthy said at the NFL owners meetings this week that he was confident Lacy was back on track. This photo suggests he is indeed on track.
