Summary
January 2025 brought Green an early-onset Parkinson's diagnosis, the former Packers star said, after he had previously told only family and close friends.
Sleep-time foot twitching and other symptoms pushed Green to seek testing; he said short-term memory problems are now one of his biggest daily challenges.
Green, the Packers' career rushing leader with 8,322 yards, said he is managing the disease with prescribed medication, diet changes and regular medical treatment.
His disclosure makes him at least the second prominent Packers player from that era to go public with Parkinson's, after Brett Favre revealed his own diagnosis in 2024.
