Green Bay Packers: Eddie Lacy's weight a tired subject as training camp starts

DE PERE, Wis. -- The prevailing topic of Green Bay Packers Pro-Bowl running back Eddie Lacy's physique in the spring continued to carry a lot of weight at the start of the Packers' training camp.

Just as in the offseason, Lacy refused to say how much weight he's dropped after abiding by head coach Mike McCarthy's ultimatum at the end of last season to get in shape.

"Do I look like I lost a few pounds over the summer?" Lacy said to a big group of reporters after the first practice day in camp Tuesday.

Lacy said he resumed his vigorous workouts with P90X founder Tony Horton in California in the weeks leading up to camp. Fitness guru Horton took Lacy under his wing early in the offseason in the aftermath of the young back's disappointing third NFL season in 2015 that prompted public criticism from McCarthy for playing overweight.

The Packers list Lacy at 234 pounds, his same listed weight from last season.

What his actual weight is, nobody's saying.

"I'm tired of talking about it," said Lacy, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract. "I'm pretty sure you all are tired of asking about it. I'm tired of hearing about it everywhere I go. I'm done with that."

McCarthy also bristled when asked about Lacy's weight at the start of camp.

"I'm just going to be frank here - I'm done talking about people's weight," McCarthy said. "I've never put a guy's individual weight in the media, that's not something I talk about, and in Eddie's particular case, I've talked enough about his weight.

"Everybody has things they need to work on, we all do, and frankly, Eddie's ready to go."
