Dumb Green Bay Running Back Thinks He's Cut,Leaves Brookins turned in playbook, misread message By John Clayton A communication mixup put Packers halfback Jason Brookins' brief Green Bay career on hold. Jason Brookins averaged 3.6 yards per carry as a rookie. On Tuesday, the day NFL teams had to trim their rosters to 65 players, Brookins was asked for his playbook by a Packers official. He thought the request meant that he was being released. What he didn't know was that it was for some late additions to his playbook prior to Friday's game against the Titans. By then, it was too late. Brookins had already gotten in his car, turned off his cell phone and headed to his offseason home in Missouri. "It's one of the weirdest things I've been involved with,'' said his agent, Stephen Weinberger. "The Packers called and wanted to get him to come back, but we couldn't reach him. Somebody there asked him if he needed a ride to the airport, but he had his own car, so he left.'' On Tuesday, the Packers told Weinberger that they wanted to bring Brookins back. But on Wednesday, there was uncertainty. "We're awaiting word on what coach Mike Sherman wants to do,'' Weinberger said. Brookins could understandably think that he would be included in the list of cuts. Despite being brought in to compete for a backup halfback job, Brookins didn't play against the Browns on Monday night. During training camp, he was switched from halfback to fullback. Brookins rushed for 551 yards and scored five touchdowns for the Ravens last season. He played collegiately at Lane College.
