Green Bay - Packers RB Eddie Lacy was in uniform and with helmet during the portion of practice open to the media, but he was not taking part in individual drills.

Lacy, who is nursing a hip injury, may have taken part in the pre-practice walk-through, which isn't open to the media. He was a limited participant in practice Wednesday. The Packers don't have to list his status until Friday.

Guard Josh Sitton (toe) was riding the stationary bike and not taking part in practice. He had been practicing on Thursdays of late, but coming off a Monday night game, it's likely a decision was made to let him rest his injury. Guard T.J. Lang (ankle) has advanced to where he does some work everyday in practice.

Newly acquired DE Bruce Gaston was not present at practice. It was unclear why he was not there.

Cornerback Davon House (shoulder) and linebacker Jamari Lattimore (ankle) were both out for a second straight day. House's injury isn't overly serious, according to a source, but his status is definitely up in the air for Sunday.

Coach Mike McCarthy went without pads Thursday.
