Giants Wilson now expected to be ready for 2014

According to NFL.com, Giants Running Back David Wilson is now expected to be ready for the 2014 season. You may remember earlier this offseason, when I wrote about how, if Wilson's neck didn't get healthy Packers backup James Starks could be a candidate for the team's starting job, so yea, this story does affect the Packers. Not in a major way by any means, but definitely in a notable one. It likely means that, whether we like it or not, James Starks will be Eddie Lacy's backup for at least one more season, which, I'll admit, I find exciting. 

Report: Giants might want James Starks

Due to the fact that their current starting RB, David Wilson, just had neck surgery, NewJersey.com has reported that the Giants are planning on putting together a "contingency plan" in case he never plays in 2014, with Packers backup RB James Starks possibly being a strong candidate. This season, Starks, on 89 carries, rushed for a solid 493 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Now I like Starks, so I don't want him to leave. I mean, Eddie Lacy clearly is the starter right now, but still, he could always get hurt. And if he does, Starks is definitely a solid backup to take his spot. So Ted Thompson, please keep #44. He's not worth draft picks.
