Green Bay Packers running backs coach Alex Van Pelt said RB DuJuan Harris practiced without sleeves Wednesday, Jan. 2, to try and get comfortable playing in cold weather. Van Pelt said ball security could be a factor in the cold weather but Harris has big hands for his size which should help in that area. RB Ryan Grant could receive more carries in the Wild Card playoff game because he has played in cold weather playoff games before. Van Pelt said RB Alex Green will be available to the coaches whenever they need him to play.

Green Bay Packers RB DuJuan Harris may the team's primary running back in the team's Wild Card playoff game even though head coach Mike McCarthy has not named a main running back for the game. McCarthy said the team will get Harris, RB Alex Green and RB Ryan Grant ready to play and will see how the game is going before deciding which back will get the most carries.

Green Bay Packers RB James Starks (knee) is dealing with a bone bruise in his right knee, and head coach Mike McCarthy plans to have him back for the playoffs. "Yeah, it's a lot better," Starks said. "Just how I was bent, when you look at it, it looked a lot worse. So I just thank God for being able to possibly come back and do well. So no real, serious bad injuries." Starks hasn't been able to practice but he's been staying busy in the weight room. In his absence, the Packers have gone with a combination of RBs Alex Green, DuJuan Harris and Ryan Grant.

The weather forecast for the Week 14 game between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers calls for the potential of multiple inches of snow before or during the Sunday night game. It is fitting for Packers RB Ryan Grant, who was re-signed this week. He set a franchise record with 201 yards and three touchdowns in the 2007 NFC Divisional playoffs against the Seattle Seahawks.

Green Bay Packers running backs coach Alex Van Pelt is concerned with RBs Ryan Grant and DuJuan Harris due to their lack of playing time this season. The main concerns are ball security and blocking. Grant will especially need to focus on holding onto the ball tight since he hasn't been hit in a while after not playing at all this season. Harris will likely make his debut on offense in Week 14.

Green Bay Packers RB Ryan Grant is expected to be active in Week 14, according to manager Mike McCarthy. "And frankly, where we are from a health standpoint, we might not have a choice," McCarthy said.

Fantasy Tip: McCarthy doesn't exactly give Grant a ringing endorsement. The expectation is that Alex Green will receive the majority of work, but with Green Bay not all that committed to the run, he's a risky flex option against Detroit.

The Green Bay Packers agreed to terms with free-agent RB Ryan Grant (Redskins) Wednesday, Dec. 5. Grant should be practicing with the team later in the day. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Fantasy Tip: If anything, Grant will add some depth to the Packers' backfield. With James Starks likely done for the season, the team has Alex Green and little else. John Kuhn figures to see additional carries as well. Grant joined the Washington Redskins earlier in the season but played in just one game, rushing once for five yards. Grant may not have much left in the tank, but the team's backfield situation merits him at least getting a waiver-wire look.

Washington Redskins RB Ryan Grant will add depth to the running back corps with RBs Evan Royster (knee, toe) and Roy Helu Jr. (toe) dealing with injuries. Royster is day-to-day with a strained patella tendon in his right knee, and he also aggravated a pre-existing turf toe injury. Helu is dealing with turf toe and had been limited with an injured Achilles' tendon in the preseason. Royster was limping around Monday, Sept. 24. Helu was wearing a walking boot following the team's Week 3 game, but he's listed as day-to-day, too.
