Jason Spriggs made his return to action in Week 11 after being placed on injured reserve in the early stages of this season. And now it looks like he has earned a starting role on the Green Bay Packers offensive line.

Head coach Mike McCarthy spoke to the media on Monday and he was asked about Spriggs starting at right tackle instead of Justin McCray. McCarthy like the way Spriggs played in his first career start at right tackle and he will be the starter there moving forward.

"I know he's just coming back, but the repeated mistakes are what we need to do a better job of," McCarthy said. But he did some really good things in pass protection. The run game was not as good as his pass protection."

The Packers placed Spriggs on injured reserve back in September due to a hamstring injury. He was activated before the Ravens game and played in 22 offensive snaps.

McCray was the starting right tackle who was taking the place of Bryan Bulaga who is now on injured reserve with a knee injury. He will now be the primary backup for all five offensive line positions.
