GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers re-signed fullback Henry Pearson on Tuesday.
They can thank Hurricane Ernesto for making it possible.
“I was on my way to the airport last night to go to a workout at Cleveland,” Pearson said after practice, “and I got a call from my agent [Robert Roche] and he was like, ‘Hey, the Packers want to sign you. Do you still want to go to this workout?’
“I was like, ‘No, I’d rather just go back to Lambeau.’”
Pearson was supposed to fly to Cleveland on Sunday night, but Ernesto canceled the flight.
