NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Green Bay Packers finally have an experienced traditional running back at their disposal with the return of James Starks.Starks was cleared to play Sunday at Tennessee for his first action since Oct. 9. He had surgery to repair a torn meniscus a week later after he experienced a problem during a workout. He was listed as questionable this week.Starks and the Packers never indicated which knee was injured.Without Starks and Eddie Lacy, who last played on Oct. 16 and then went on injured reserve, Packers coach Mike McCarthy has used a makeshift running game led by converted receiver Ty Montgomery with undrafted rookie Don Jackson sprinkled in.Jackson, however, was a healthy scratch against the Titans, which means the bulk of the work will fall on Starks and Montgomery.Starks was largely ineffective before his injury. He averaged just 1.8 yards per rush on 24 attempts before his knee injury, while Montgomery had two productive games as a runner (seven carries for 53 yards last week against the Colts and nine carries for 60 yards two weeks earlier against the Bears).The Packers did not get tight end Jared Cook?back; he, like Starks, returned to practice this past week. He hasnt played since Sept. 25, when he sprained his right ankle.As expected, linebacker Clay Matthews will miss his third straight game (and fourth overall this season) because of a hamstring injury. Other inactives were cornerback Damarious Randall (groin), center JC Tretter (knee), tackle Kyle Murphy (healthy scratch) and defensive tackle Christian Ringo (healthy scratch).
