Ahman Green works out with Packers

Former Packers running back Ahman Green was back at Lambeau Field today working out for the team, according to an NFL source.

They also had running back Dominic Rhodes in for a workout, the source said.

The 32-year old Green, who is second on the Packers' career rushing list with 8,162 yards and a four-time Pro Bowl selection, has been out of football since Feb. 10, when the Houston Texans released him. Green left the Packers in free agency following the 2006 season and signed a four-year, $27 million deal with the Texans in 2007. He played in only 14 games over two years with the Texans due to injuries. He has been living at least part time in Green Bay for the past six months.

Rhodes, 30, has been out of football since he was released by the Buffalo Bills on April 17. He last played during the 2008 season with the Indianapolis Colts. He split time with Joseph Addai and rushed for 538 yards in 15 games (including four starts).

Now that's freaking desperate. BUT I'm glad to see something is being attempted. Even if these things are routine.

Wow, that has to be more than just a look - we brought in some no-name backs last week. Maybe Wynn's injury is more serious than it looks, maybe the Packers are sick of Ryan Grant running into the back of an O-lineman?

So now the question is, out of these two running backs which one compliments Ryan Grant and Brandon Jackson more?

I think this may be a little more than just looking, I think that Ted Thompson is serious about adding another RB with the recent injury to Wynn. At least I hope so..

I wish Green would come back, this would take some of my Green stuff out of retirement...

Maybe there is some truth behind the "RUMOR" of trading for Jackson

This is the Packers way of thinking, we need more in here and before we do the Jackson deal lets see what else is around

Still have the same line as the current RBs are running behind. Maybe they're bringing in the wrong guys...

Green was with us back in the old power running game. Don't know how he'd do in the ZBS.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress
