GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Despite reports of a potential long-term absence for Eddie Lacy, Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy would not even rule him out for Thursday’s game against the Chicago Bears, although he did not acknowledge the running back would be a long shot to play.

McCarthy said Wednesday that general manager Ted Thompson and team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie were still in the process of reviewing test results on Lacy’s beat-up left ankle and foot. Sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Ed Werder on Tuesday night that noted ankle specialist Dr. Bob Anderson of Charlotte, North Carolina -- who has consulted on Packers players in the past -- also was expected to look at Lacy’s test results and offer a second opinion.

For now, Lacy remains in Green Bay. He attended practice on Tuesday and did some rehab work with the Packers’ long list of injured players and will do the same on Wednesday.

“He’s made a little bit of progress is the feedback that I’ve been given,” McCarthy said before practice. “Frankly, he’s going to have to have a wonderful, great 24 hours to play in the game. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. But he will be in the large rehab group today.”

The Packers made a rare in-season trade on Tuesday and acquired running back Knile Davis from the Chiefs. They also might add another back, rookie Don Jackson, from the practice squad but would have to make room on the roster to do so.

The situation at cornerback is almost as dire. McCarthy said starters Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins -- both with groin injuries -- would be “hard pressed” to play against the Bears. The Packers placed Sam Shields (concussion) on injured reserve on Tuesday, which means they could be without their top-three corners. That’s how they finished last Sunday’s loss to the Cowboys after Randall dropped out in the second quarter.
