November 21, 2011 By

The Green Bay Packers expect to know more today with regards to the health

James Starks

of running back James Starks.

According to coach Mike McCarthy, Starks sustained a knee sprain in the 4th quarter of Sunday’s 35-26 Green Bay win over Tampa Bay.  The injury appeared to have occurred on a run play in the fourth quarter.

Packers pass on Lynch! Now what?

October 6, 2010 By

Are the Packers really content to go through the football season with their

Ted Thompson

current stable of running backs?

As it turned out, Marshawn Lynch was available and the asking price wasn’t too steep.  But Green Bay Packers General Manager Ted Thompson seems unwilling to part with any of his draft picks.  Seattle traded a 4th round pick in 2011 and a conditional 2012 pick, a sixth-rounder than can escalate to a fifth-rounder based on Lynch’s performance.

Packers sign Nance and Wynn, place Grant and Harrel on I.R.

September 14, 2010 By

The Green Bay Packers have signed RB Dimitri Nance and DE Jarius Wynn today and placed RB Ryan Grant and DE Justin Harrell on injured reserve. 

Nance was signed off of Atlanta’s practice squad.  He originally joined the Falcons this spring as a non-drafted free agent out of Arizona State.  Nance was an honorable mention All-Pac-10 selection as a senior when he rushed for 795 yards and six touchdowns, the second straight season he led the Sun Devils in rushing. 

Grant is out for the year after suffering an ankle injury in Sunday’s win over the Eagles. 

Wynn, the first of two sixth-round picks by the Packers in 2009, played in 11 games as a rookie last season.  He was released by the Packers in the final roster cut-down this year on Sept. 4.
