Ahman Green couldn't hang up his helmet, not after the way things ended in Houston.

Now Green is back with the Green Bay Packers, volunteering to take a reduced role in exchange for the chance to write a new ending to what had been a standout career until he left Green Bay as a free agent in 2007.

Green, who has been out of football since the Texans cut him in February, signed a deal Wednesday to return to the Packers after working out for the team earlier this week.
