With Eddie Lacy leaving Green Bay’s dramatic win Thursday night with an ankle injury, the Packers brought in former Broncos running back Montee Ball in for a workout, according to NFL.com.
Lacy left the game after just five carries and 4 rushing yards. Backup running back James Starks didn’t do much better with 15 yards on nine carries.

Ball, a star at Wisconsin, was cut by Denver in the offseason after two disappointing seasons in a Broncos uniform. He managed just 731 rushing yards in 21 games after being selected in the second round of the 2013 draft.
As a Badger, Ball set an FBS record with 83 total touchdowns, 77 rushing, over his four-year career.
Ball could provide depth for Green Bay if Lacy misses an extended period of time. Starks and John Crockett are the two healthy backs left on the active roster.
