Even if it's just as a third-down guy and special teamer, I've played that before too, so I know how to approach it and be just as professional as a starter.'

Packers | Green does not expect to play in Week 7 Wed Oct 21, 04:52 PM
Updating a previous report, Rob Demovsky, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Green Bay Packers RB Ahman Green said he does not believe he will be ready to play in Week 7. 'I think that one is kind of out of the boundary,' Green said. 'To have a goal like that, to be ready for Sunday, that's kind of a big goal. I think it's going to be more realistic the week after that or the week after that.'
| Footballguys view: DeShawn Wynn is on IR, so Brandon Jackson will get any carries that don't go to Ryan Grant. |

Rams | Ahman Green on the 'ready' list Fri Aug 21, 10:52 AM
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports free agent running back Ahman Green visited Rams Park on Wednesday, but no signing is imminent. He is simply on the St. Louis Rams' "ready list" of potential players to consider if the team suffers an injury at the position or decides to make a move.
| Footballguys view: Green would not be a threat to Steven Jackson, but could provide them with veteran depth. He would compete with Samkon Gado, Antonio Pittman, and Kenneth Darby if signed, and could make the final roster because of his versatility and experience. |
