Well if they're going to keep Starks on the roster like some are projecting... then do you add another RB?

If yes... who do you release?
You can only keep so many players that are missing a month of time... and it's starting to add up for the Packers... Shields, Cook and now Starks? Some suggested MM was upset because he lost QB Callahan.

If no... then what happens if/when Lacy gets banged up? or needs a breather? Should we switch one of the WRs to full time RB?

Potential option?

Raiders FB/RB/offensive weapon Marcel Reece is available... Patriots/Jets have looked at him. While he's mainly been a FB/TE tweener offensive weapon, he has been used as a RB as well...
