GREEN BAY, Wis. -- A week's worth of worrying over the status of Eddie Lacy for Sunday's game at the Buffalo Bills looks like it will be for nothing. The Green Bay Packers listed him as probable.

Despite the running back being limited in practice all week because of the hip injury he sustained late in Monday night's win over the Atlanta Falcons, Packers coach Mike McCarthy sounded confident that Lacy would play against the Bills.

"I think probable is pretty confident," McCarthy said Friday. "He's getting better. I know he did the strength and conditioning work and all the other work in that area today. He's making progress and hopefully he can practice tomorrow."

McCarthy wouldn't say whether he might limit Lacy's snaps. But after using him as the workhorse back in two straight games in which he combined to carry 46 times against the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots, the Packers went into the Falcons game planning to rotate Lacy and James Starks. Even before Lacy went down in the fourth quarter, Starks received significant playing time. Together, they combined for 148 yards (75 for Starks on 10 carries and 73 for Lacy on 13 carries) and the Packers rushed for a season-high 179 yards against Atlanta.

"I'm not going to talk about how much we're going to play anybody," McCarthy said. "We'll see how the game goes. But I feel very comfortable going with Eddie and James. It's something that we spent the whole offseason getting ready for, and both guys have done a great job of being three-down players, so we can continue to just keep playing with Eddie and James and DuJuan Harris is doing a good job."

The Packers ruled out cornerback Davon House, who sustained a shoulder injury against the Falcons. McCarthy said House was scheduled to go out of town for additional tests Friday.
