According to the report, this was one of seven incentive laden weigh-ins for Lacy. He had to be at 250 pounds or less on Monday.  His contract call for his playing weight to be at 245 pounds during the season.

Lacy has been limited in offseason team activities with the Seahawks as he continues to recover from an ankle injury.
