Conflicting information about James Starks' ankle

James Starks came back from a knee injury suffered four days earlier against Tampa Bay and ran four times for 19 yards. But Starks wasn't a part of the rotation in the fourth quarter.

"I wasn't hurt," Starks said. "I was fine. Three games in 10 days take a toll on your body, but our coaches do a good job of giving us proper rest.

"The injury happened three or four days ago, so the week was fast. I stayed in treatment. Of course, you're going to play with a little bit of pain. Everything is fine now. I got a little time to rest. I think I should be fine."

Asked if Starks had been hurt again, coach Mike McCarthy said, "You know, it's a. . . I think he just tweaked his ankle again."
