Green's role still up in the air
The Packers didn't bring Ahman Green back to Green Bay just to rekindle fond memories of days gone by. The way we hear it, if he continues to look the way he did in a workout two days before he signed a one-year deal to rejoin the team, the second leading rusher in franchise history could figure prominently in the Packers' ground game moving forward. However, team insiders believe that could be a pretty big "if," considering the 32-year-old Green has been able to play in only 14 games the past two seasons due to an assortment of injuries. If Green can regain even close to his prior form, he figures to help a Packers running attack that has been hindered by featured back Ryan Grant's lack of explosiveness and the injury issues that continue to plague swing back Brandon Jackson, who missed the first four games this season because of a sprained ankle. But whether Green primarily spells Grant or steals touches from Jackson in third-down duty remains to be seen.

Green Bay Packers running back Ahman Green says injuries weren't the only thing that kept him from living up to expectations in Houston. Green, who signed a deal to return to Green Bay on Wednesday after being cut by the Texans in February, says emotional turmoil within his family affected his ability to focus on football the past two seasons. Green says his relationship with his daughters was "on the rocks," and he was hit hard by the death of his father. But Green now says his relationship with daughters Ahmani, 12, and Myahni, 7, has greatly improved and he is completely focused after rejoining the Packers.
