Packers running back James Starks underwent surgery Sunday for a minor clean up on his injured knee, making it a long shot that he’ll be able to play Thursday night, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.
“I would say Pat — Dr. McKenzie — felt very good about the surgery,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “Personally, I haven’t talked to James yet, so I can’t really give you a timeline. But they feel it’s something quick, so it’ll definitely be on the front end of whatever the prognosis is.”
