    Packers running backs Ryan Grant and James Starks are expected to split reps in the team's Week 1 game vs. the Saints. Grant had the slightly better preseason though neither back distinguished himself; Grant was the better rusher, Starks was the better receiver. "They're both going to take pretty much all situations in the game," RB coach Jerry Fontenot told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Evenly dispersed? I can't guarantee it. But I'm certainly going try to get each one of those guys an equal amount of opportunities to carry the football, to hold onto the football and to control the clock for us."

    Smart. Grant will be injured within four weeks so they want to keep Starks in game shape.
