The Facts: The Green Bay Packers have signed Green, bringing back another veteran. Fellow RB DeShawn Wynn (knee) was placed on injured reserve.

Diehards Line:Faced with a need at the position after Wynn hurt his knee, the Packers turned to Green, who has been out of football since being cut by Houston in February. He left the Packers to sign with the Texans as a free agent for the 2007 season but struggled, gaining 554 yards in 14 games over two seasons. Green’s signing on Wednesday comes a week after the team brought back veteran right tackle Mark Tauscher, who was not re-signed in the offseason after hurting his knee last December.
