Eddie Lacy has been cleared to resume football activities.

Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy gets knocked backwards during Thursday's game against the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.

The Green Bay Packers' second-year running back was back in pads during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Lacy sustained a concussion late in last week's 36-16 loss in Seattle.

It came almost exactly one year after he sustained a concussion in the Packers' Week 2 game against Washington last season and missed the following week's game in Cincinnati.

Right tackle Bryan Bulaga (sprained medial collateral ligament) and tight end Brandon Bostick (fibula) also were practicing. Bulaga continues to wear a large brace over his left knee, while it was Bostick's first padded practice since Aug. 16.

The only non-participant was inside linebacker Brad Jones, which might hurt his chances of playing Sunday against the New York Jets. Jones has been bothered by a quadriceps injury.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy was scheduled to speak to the media at approximately 1:45 p.m. CDT.
