Packers: Robert Tonyan over Aaron Ripkowski on 53-man roster
The Green Bay Packers should keep tight end Robert Tonyan on the 53-man roster over fullback Aaron Ripkowski.
With the regular season just on the horizon, one huge chore left to do for the Green Bay Packers is making the final roster cuts. With those decisions set to be made on Saturday, the Packers have some tough choices ahead of them.
