Former Packers running back Ahman Green says he is battling early-onset Parkinson's disease.
Green shared the news on the "Go Long" podcast Wednesday.
"I know unfortunately there's a day we eventually -- where our clock stops ticking," he said. "The way I look at it, my clock is going to stop ticking when I want it to stop ticking."
