Doctor: Lacy's toe no big deal: Much has been made of the fusion surgery running back Eddie Lacy had on his toe after the 2011 season, reportedly scaring teams away from drafting him. But the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel did some digging on the procedure, including meeting with the doctor who did the surgery, and came away with the belief that the procedure will not hurt Lacy long-term. Alabama team doctor E. Lyle Cain Jr. said the surgery was a modified version of a standard fusion surgery -- only the bone on the very tip of his big toe was fused -- and that there's no concern about the surgery causing problems for Lacy now. "The joint underneath the toenail was fused to allow the ligament to work better basically," Cain said. "It's something you do to give you a better push-off. His big toe moves just like a normal big toe in terms of motion. ... If you fused it completely, it'd give you a stiff big toe and you can't push off and that's a big problem. In Eddie's case, he does not have that. His fusion does not affect his big-toe motion. The bottom line is, the fusion he had does not affect his big-toe motion." (Updated 5/10/13)

Fantasy Analysis
The vote of confidence from the doc is nice but Fantasy owners might finally get a sense of ease with Lacy once he gets through a chunk of training camp practices without injury and makes some moves in a preseason game. Lacy and fellow rookie Johnathan Franklin are expected to form a 'Thunder and Lightning' combo to give the Packers a run game they've been without for years. Lacy specifically should be the more productive of the two because he'll have chances to work at the goal line. Problem is Lacy has a history of injuries including the fusion surgery, so there's a chance something else could sideline him in the future. The later you draft him this summer, the better off you'll probably be. Expect someone in every league will take a stab at Lacy by the end of Round 7, which is where we might begin to consider him, but that could change by mid-August. He'll probably be an early-round selection in dynasty and a Top 10 pick in rookie-only formats as well. (Updated 5/10/13).
