Cheap Jerseys China . -- The record many thought would never be broken is right there in front of him, and Adrian Peterson can smell it. GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Ryan Grant didnt want his return to the Green Bay Packers to be a distraction, so he figured hed say a few quick hellos and get right to work. His teammates were having none of that plan. They gave the veteran running back a standing ovation when he arrived Wednesday, thrilled hed found his way back to Green Bay. "Its great to see him back, back in the green and gold. Ive missed him," Aaron Rodgers said. "Hes done a lot of great things for this organization, hes a great teammate. Were excited to have him back." Grant is fifth on Green Bays all-time rushing list, running for 4,016 yards and 25 touchdowns from 2007-11. But he missed most of the 2010 season after hurting his ankle in the season opener, and split time with James Starks last year. The Packers opted not to re-sign Grant last summer, betting that Starks, Cedric Benson and Alex Green would be enough to carry the load. But Benson hasnt played since spraining his foot Oct. 7, and the Packers announced last week that he will stay on injured reserve the rest of the season. Starks will miss "multiple weeks" with a knee injury, coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday. Green is getting better, playing one of his better games of the year Sunday against the Vikings, but he cant be Green Bays only option. Grant provides the perfect solution. Not only does he give the Packers badly needed depth, theres no adjustment period. He was with Washington from Sept. 26 to Oct. 23, and has kept himself in shape since the Redskins released him. Better yet, he knows Green Bays offence -- "Wrinkles here and there" are the only changes Grant noticed -- and McCarthy fully expects Grant will be able to play in Sunday nights game against Detroit. "Ryan has great history with us, can kind of step right in," McCarthy said. "I dont see him having any issues getting ready." Even his lack of a locker was quickly solved. All of the lockers in the Packers main room have been taken, so Grant commandeered four in the auxiliary room. "Thats kind of cool," he said. "Ive probably got the most lockers in here. ... I can spread all my stuff around." Grants return could help stabilize Green Bays running game, which has struggled with consistency all year. The Packers are 11th in the NFC with 105 yards rushing a game, and have scored just three touchdowns on the ground. Yes, Green Bays strength is always going to be its passing game so long as Rodgers is around, but the Packers have to have balancce. Cheap NFL Jerseys. They could use some help with pass protection, too. Rodgers has been sacked a league-worst 39 times, three more knockdowns than he took all of last season. "I feel good football wise," Grant said. "I stayed mentally and physically involved and attached to the game. Im looking forward to it." After he was released by Washington, Grant went back home to New York. Though he took advantage of his newfound free time to do things with his family and catch up on his reading -- "Outliers," Malcolm Gladwells book about the factors that contribute to success, was his favourite -- he never got out of the football frame of mind. He kept to a workout schedule, and would watch games on weekends. And unlike millions of Americans who like nothing better than to park themselves on the couch for an entire Sunday, that was one of Grants least-favourite parts of the layoff. "Its a different angle," he said. "I dont really like watching football. Its hard for me as a spectator. I love football and I love what goes on, but to just sit and watch games is hard for me because I watch it as Xs and Os. So its like studying film." The prep work paid off, though. Grant had always hoped to return to Green Bay, where he was a favourite both on the field and off. But he said there are no hard feelings about Green Bays decision last spring, and he didnt think twice about rejoining the Packers when they called Tuesday night. "Thats the business aspect of it," he said. "I came into this league understanding the business aspect and I think that -- I dont want to say it made things a little easier, but at the same time it made me understand some things. I dont take things personal in this business. "I didnt come here for a feel-good story," he added. "I came back here to help this team and contribute." Notes: DB Charles Woodson practiced Thursday, and McCarthy said the perennial Pro Bowlers return from a broken collarbone is "getting close." ... WR Jordy Nelson and LB Clay Matthews, who both have hamstring injuries, are getting better but McCarthy said he isnt sure if either will be ready this week. ... WR Donald Driver said the thumb injury that has limited him in practice the last couple of weeks and kept him out of Sundays game is actually a broken thumb. "I cant do anything about it," Driver said. "Its not the worst that Ive had. I can fight through anything and Ill continue to fight through this one." ' ' '
