Eddie Lacy is inactive against the 49ers
Running back Eddie Lacy is inactive for Sunday afternoon’s game against San Francisco, the Seattle Seahawks announced Sunday. Lacy has not been dealing with an injury, meaning that he’s a healthy scratch from the lineup.

In the Seahawks’ 17-9 loss to Green Bay last week, he managed a paltry 3 yards on five carries against his former team.
A former second-team All-Pro, Lacy is fighting for reps in a crowded backfield, featuring Thomas Rawls, C.J. Prosise and promising rookie Chris Carson.
