Packers Vs. Lions Inactives: James Starks Active For Green Bay

Green Bay Packers RB James Starks has been dealing with knee and ankle injuries this week but he is active for the Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Detroit Lions. Both teams have released their inactives and Starks was the biggest question mark but he is expected to play. We could also see an uptick in carries for RB Ryan Grant.

Here are all of the Packers' inactives: E D.J. Williams, T Chad Clifton, G Ray Dominguez, LB Frank Zombo, LB Vic So'oto, LB Jamari Lattimore, CB Davon House.

There aren't any major surprises on the Lions inactive list either: QB Drew Stanton, RB Jahvid Best, G Leonard Davis, DE Lawrence Jackson, CB Alphonso Smith, CB Don Carey, P Ryan Donahue.

Best is dealing with the effects of a concussion while Jackson was ruled doubtful so we knew he was unlikely to suit up.

Check out our Packers blog, Acme Packing Company, for more on the Packers and head on over to Pride of Detroit for more on the Lions. Here’s the entire Thanksgiving day football schedule and all the NFL odds and lines for the Week 12 games.
