GREEN BAY — As Aaron Ripkowski suited up for Sunday’s game against Atlanta, the Packers fullback didn’t carry any preconceived notions about how much he’d play.
Ripkowski’s mindset was like every week regardless of how long the team’s injury report was. His job was to contribute on special teams and do whatever he was told on offense.
As it turned out, the Packers wound up asking more of Ripkowski than ever before with Eddie Lacy, James Starks, Randall Cobb and Ty Montgomery all out with injury or illness.
