HOUSTON—Former Nebraska running back Ahman Green has been released by the Houston Texans—a sign that his playing career may be over.
Green was hailed as the solution to Houston’s rushing woes when he was signed from Green Bay, but he finished each of his two seasons with the Texans on the injured reserve.
The 31-year-old was named to the Pro Bowl four times.
Green left NU as a junior after the Huskers won the 1997 national title. His 3,880 career yards ranks second behind Mike Rozier’s 4,780 on the Husker career chart.
The Texans also released linebacker Morlon Greenwood on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old Greenwood saw his production and playing time decrease this season as Houston relied on its younger linebackers.
