I was amazed to find Ahman Green on the WW last week. I picked him up and put on IR, as he was out with injury. I haven't heard any news on his return.
Anyone have any info?

What would Lemmy do?
I know he said that, but I think if Green is healthy he'll still get around 20 touches.

Why would anyone care what Sherman said? Isn't he a OC for the Texans now?

Poster from another site cites Pro Football Weekly for this nugget. Take it FWIW:
"• We've likely seen the last of Ahman Green as the Packers' exclusive workhorse. Green saw 25 touches per week through three games and promptly landed on the inactive list for two straight weeks with hamstring injuries to both legs. With backups Vernand Morency and Noah Herron running well in his stead in Weeks 4 and 5, the Packers are looking to decrease Green's workload and will mix the two substitutes in regularly. "

We shall see if there's really going to be a RBBC. For some reason, I doubt he'll be limited to 10-15, as McCarthy has shown that he likes to stay with a hot hand, going almost exclusively to Morency and then to Herron on consecutive weeks. I *could* see Ahman losing near-goalline action to Herron, as well as short yardage.
It all depends on how Ahman looks out there, but I bet this looks like a Thomas Jones/Ced Benson situation, where when the game is on the line McCarthy sticks with the guy he trusts.

In a PPR league he's absolute gold, especially if you were able to get him off the WW. Even if his touches are reduced by 5 a game, with GB playing from behind frequently as long as a good amount of those touches come via receptions I think you're looking at a solid RB2 - IF he can stay healthy (which, has been the question all along of course...).

The thing is, I don't know that limiting to 15 carries can stop or slow a hammy tweak. Isn't that more of a thing that could happen at any moment? It's not a wear and tear issue AFAIK. And I'm just playing the devil's advocate; I'm aware that the coaches said they'd do this.

PPR Gold. In my league Green is RB #7 in points per game as of now (LT2, Westy, LJ, Portis, K Jones, Tiki). Not bad for a likely late-round pick! I think they will reduce some of his rushing touches, but he'll still get plenty of receptions.

Green is going to start. However it looks like he will be splitting time...take bolded part below into consideration if you have to start a Green Bay RB....

Notes: Green rested, ready to go
Back expects to play in Miami

Green Bay - The fact that Green Bay running back Ahman Green successfully completed another practice Thursday was seen as a strong indication that he will be able to finally play when the Packers take on Miami on Sunday.
Green has been inactive the last two games with two injured hamstrings, injuries he thinks were caused because his legs were overcompensating for a torn quadriceps injury that prematurely ended his 2005 season.
The bye week rest also helped Green recover.
"He's running with power in practice; I like the way he's taking it up inside," offensive coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski said. "He had some really nice runs in practice this week. As soon as we get him doing it the real way, we'll find out pretty quick. I have a lot of confidence in him right now."
Green said he had noticed gradual improvement every day and sounded optimistic that he was back to his old playing form.
"I wouldn't be out there if I didn't (feel that way), period," Green said.
Green will get to play behind an offensive line that has shown signs of improvement after a struggling start. After Green's 110-yard rushing performance in the opener against the Bears, the Packers had rushing totals of 63 and 60 yards in the next two games. But Vernand Morency got 99 yards against Philadelphia and Noah Herron got 106 against St. Louis.
"We're playing a pretty stout defense this week," Jagodzinski said. "It'll be a challenge for the guys up front and Ahman."
Green said the rushing totals didn't mean as much.
"Be effective, if it's 100 yards or 50 yards," he said. "As long as we make our conversions as far as third downs, and get in the end zone and the red zone. And keep the turnovers down and win the turnover battle. That's all I want to do and get this team back up where we need to be in our division and in our conference."
Tropical dome: The Packers had the heat turned up for practice Thursday in the Don Hutson Center and a few players wore knit caps and full heavy sweats to try to prepare for the warmer South Florida climate.
"Any time another team goes down south, it'll factor in," Jagodzinski said. "It's like a southern team coming up north later in the season. It needs to be addressed and then we have to just go down there and play."
The weather could also affect the running back rotation.
It is rare, but running in hot humid air can cause Green to cramp up or aggravate his asthma if he's carrying a big workload. So it is likely that Herron and Morency will also play.
"It's going to be hot," Herron said. "We're not used to this. We're going to need all three of us."
"Talking about the weather, we're going to have to play some folks in there because it will take a toll," Jagodzinski said. "They'll both be in there. It just depends, how the weather goes and how the guy is running. Our biggest thing has been ball security; that's the main thing we've had our focus on, and guys making plays at the end, be willing to make a play the last play of the game to win it."

John Clayton said Green will play on 1st and 2nd down. Clayton was on ESPN News reporting on injured players. He said nothing about Morency and Herron.
