James Starks: Waived by Packers
James Starks (concussion) has been waived by the Packers with a non-football-injury designation, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Starks was only able to take the field for nine games this season, ending the year on concussion protocol. The 30-year-old running back rushed for a measly 145 yards on 63 carries while recording in 19 receptions for 134 yards and two touchdowns in those nine contests. Starks' role on offense quickly diminished due to injuries and the emergence of Ty Montgomery as the new quick-paced, pass-catching target out of the backfield. The veteran now heads into free agency after spending the past seven seasons in Green Bay, the only place he has called home over his NFL career. It remains unseen how much Starks has left in the tank, especially when you factor in his injury plagued 2016 campaign, but he could find his way onto a team in need of a third-down back.

Packers' James Starks: In NFL concussion protocol
James Starks is in the NFL's concussion protocol, as the result of a car accident he was involved in Monday, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.While Starks sustained a concussion in the accident, coach Mike McCarthy relayed that the running back was "OK" otherwise. Starks must now clear several hurdles in the concussion protocol, notably clearance from an independent neurologist, in order to gain clearance to play Sunday against the Bears. If Starks ends up out or limited this weekend, Ty Montgomery and Christine Michael would be in line to head the Green Bay Packers' Week 15 rushing attack.
