re: Drop Eddie Lacy- placed on IR

Davis isn't expected to see a lot of time against the Bears because he just arrived in town Tuesday and barely knows the offense. The Packers probably will create a package of 10 plays or so that Davis is able to run. He said this week that there were some things that carried over from the Chiefs' offense.

Jackson, on the other hand, should be able to step in right away and run anything the Packers have in their offense. He was with the team during the off-season, and while he was cut just before training camp because of a broken jaw, he was signed to the practice squad right after the final cuts.

He has spent the past six weeks getting both scout team and first-team work. With Lacy and Starks both ailing last week, he got a fair amount of reps with the No. 1 offense in practice.

The Packers also plan on using Montgomery a fair amount in the backfield. Last week against Dallas, Montgomery played 35 snaps, including 22 at the running back position, and led all receivers with 10 catches for 98 yards. He only had six yards on two carries, however. Montgomery, who played running back in high school, said he has been working for the past couple of weeks to get the running back position down. He fumbled twice against the Cowboys, one of which was lost, and said he has to get used to running in traffic more.
