GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Coach Mike McCarthy wants the Packers to be more balanced on offense. He might finally have a running back who can make that happen.The Packers on Tuesday claimed former Seattle Seahawks running back Christine Michael off waivers. Seattle had cut Michael on Tuesday.Green Bay is the only NFL team without a rushing touchdown by a running back this season. Although Michaels career in Seattle, which bookended a brief stint with the Dallas Cowboys, was considered a disappointment, the 2013 second-round pick has better numbers this season than any of the Packers running backs.In nine games with the Seahawks this season, Michael had 469 yards on 117 carries (a 4.0-yard average) and six rushing touchdowns.?Eddie Lacy, who hasnt played in a month and is on injured reserve because of an ankle injury, remains Green Bays leading rusher with 360 yards on 71 carries.The Minnesota Vikings?(5-4) also put in waiver claim for Michael, a league source told ESPNs Adam Schefter, but Green Bay (4-5) was higher in the waiver order.James Starks led the Packers with 33 rushing yards on seven carries Sunday in a loss at the Tennessee Titans. It was Starks first game since his Oct. 16 knee surgery. Ty Montgomery, a converted receiver, has been the Packers leading rusher in two games this season.Michael is the second running back the Packers have acquired from another team this season. They traded for Knile Davis last month but cut him after two weeks, which meant they did not have to give the Kansas City Chiefs any compensation in return.Davis had just five rushes for 5 yards in the two games for Green Bay.Michael probably wont arrive at team headquarters until late Wednesday or early Thursday, so he wont have much practice time before the Sunday night game at Washington.?Green Bay put Don Jackson, an undrafted rookie who has 10 carries for 32 yards, on injured reserve Wednesday. Jackson was inactive Sunday versus Tennessee, but the team never listed any injury for him.The Packers badly need a rushing threat to balance their offense. They have thrown on 71.4 percent of their offensive plays this season, the highest of quarterback Aaron Rodgers career. Rodgers is the only player on the Packers roster with a rushing touchdown this season.I always want to run the ball more, but I also want to throw it 55 times a game too, McCarthy said Wednesday, several hours before the claim for Michael reportedly went through. Thats the way games are. You have to run the football. Everything starts with running the football. You cant extend your offensive line and your pass-protection unit the way we have. Running the football is very important for a number of different reasons.NFL.com first reported the news of Michaels claim by Green Bay.? Fake Shoes Australia .

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Former NASCAR driver Mike Wallace still suffers from black floaters in his right eye and still has problems with depth perception from injuries suffered in an alleged assault June 17 following a Rascal Flatts concert.Wallace testified about his injuries Tuesday during the first day of trial for three men charged with misdemeanors for assaulting him, his daughter and his son-in-law. The men -- Paul Lucas, 29, Nathan Lucas, 24, and Randolph Mangum, 23 -- pleaded not guilty during the arraignment prior to the start of the trial.The 57-year-old Wallace also suffered a broken tooth that he still needs to have replaced as well as lacerations in his mouth. His daughter, Lindsey Wallace Van Wingerden, suffered a broken wrist and black eye.On the stand for more than two hours, Wallace testified he doesnt remember the fight itself. He said he saw a man staggering by the bathroom and then later saw him arrive to a group across from his car. Wallace testified he told the group, Howd you like the show? and then when he saw the man, added, Looks like your boy made it back. When told the mans mother was there, he said, Hi, mom, how are you doing?According to Wallaces testimony, one of the other men cursed at him and said, Get the hell out of here, to which Wallace responded, What the hell is going on? What is wrong with you? Wallace said the next thing he remembered was being hurt on the ground.During cross examination, the focus was on Wallaces actions that night. He said he had four drinks -- two at dinner and two during the concert. He said he wwasnt inebriated.dddddddddddd. He had taken anti-anxiety medication earlier in the day, medication that his prescription indicated he was not supposed to mix with alcohol.Wallace was shown a video where he had trouble identifying people by faces but could make assumptions by physique and the color of clothing, which he said appeared to show him in the group getting punched. He testified he did not start the fight.Another issue brought up by the defense was a 2007 assault charge naming Wallace. Wallace said he was not familiar with the charge, nor with a man named Timothy Wayne Coe. Court records show a 2007 assault charge that was later dismissed in North Carolina with Timothy Coe Wayne as the complainant against Wallace.In other testimony, the arresting police officer indicated that he was told the men charged in the fight acted in self-defense. The police investigation report includes three additional victims, including people with the last name Lucas and Mangum.Nicole Melton, a distant relative of Wallaces who was at the concert but didnt know the Wallaces were there, testified about witnessing the commotion and seeing Wallace on the ground unconscious with a bloody face. She did testify that Wallace was highly aggravated after eventually getting up and going to the ambulance, stating that we need to get that [expletive], meaning the man whom he thought was involved in the fight.The trial will continue Wednesday morning.
