GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - The Green Bay Packers flew to Nashville on Wednesday for their final preseason game — but only after loading the team airplane with generators and other emergency supplies to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Favre had the blessing of coach Mike Sherman to drive a truck with supplies to Hattiesburg, Miss., where his wife and children were at home, after the team got to Nashville. But with many of the roads in Mississippi impassable and the airports closed, Favre reconsidered.
