GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) – James Starks had 18 carries for 73 yards against the San Francisco 49ers and his coaches didn’t cite him for any major mistakes in pass protection. He even remembered to thank his offensive linemen.
Not bad for a rookie who hadn’t played a meaningful down in nearly two years.
Starks missed his entire senior season at Buffalo because of a shoulder injury and began the season on the physically unable to perform list after hurting his hamstring in the offseason.
Running backs coach Edgar Bennett says Starks used his time away from the field to prepare, and never showed any sign of nervousness when he finally got into a game this past Sunday.
