After an injury-riddled season, the Green Bay Packers have released running back James Starks, according to ESPN's Field Yates.

Starks appeared in nine games in 2016 and struggled to muster 145 rushing yards on 2.3 yards per carry. He had two receiving touchdowns, but it was otherwise a lost season for the 30-year-old running back.

He had knee surgery in October to repair a meniscus injury and then missed the end of the season with a concussion.

Starks was with the Packers for seven seasons after being selected in the sixth round of the 2010 draft.
