Madison (knee) cleared waivers Saturday, per the NFL's official transactions report.

EDGE Analysis

The Packers waived Madison with a failed physical designation Friday. The 2018 fifth-round pick is working his way back from a torn ACL suffered last November. He'll be eligible to look for a depth role with another club when back to full health.

Madison (knee) was waived by the Packers with a failed physical designation, Jason Wilde of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The offensive lineman is still recovering from the torn ACL he suffered last November. Prior to suffering his knee injury, the 2018 fifth-rounder served as a backup guard for Packers last season.

Madison (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Madison sustained a torn ACL at practice this week, so this move was only a matter of time. The 25-year-old will undergo surgery and look to recover in time for the 2020 season.

Madison sustained a torn ACL during practice this week, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Madison will require season-ending surgery to address his ACL injury, so expect him to be placed on IR in the near future. The 2018 fifth-round pick sat out his entire rookie campaign for personal reasons related to working on mental health. He provided valuable interior depth for the Packers this season but did not ultimately suit up for game action. Yosh Nijman could be a candidate to be promoted from Green Bay's practice squad to replace Madison on the 53-man roster.

Madison was reinstated to the Packers' roster Monday as the team's offseason program begins, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

A 2018 fifth-round pick, all signs pointed towards Madison competing for a starting role at guard during his rookie campaign. However, Madison left the team due to a personal issue prior to training camp last June and ultimately sat out the entire 2018 season. That the productive Washington State product is present for the first day of offseason workouts is a welcome piece of news for the Packers, as Madison projects to provide competition and depth on the offensive line.

Madison (personal) is uncertain to report to the Packers when the team begins its offseason program, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports. "I don't think he's coming back," a source familiar with Madison's situation told Cohen. "At least he's not showing signs of it right now."

EDGE Analysis

The Packers selected Madison in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft with the hope that he would compete for a starting role at guard during his inaugural training camp. The 24-year-old never had the chance to vie for the gig, however, after leaving the team at the conclusion of the offseason program last June for an undisclosed personal matter. According to the source, Madison is still dealing with emotional distress following the January 2018 suicide of close friend and Washington State teammate Tyler Hilinski. After tests on Hilinski's brain revealed that the quarterback had been suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), it's possible that Madison is still weighing the risk of playing football and exposing himself to a head injury that could have potential long-term implications on his health.

Madison's agent recently confirmed that the offensive lineman still plans to play for the Packers, freelance NFL reporter Jason B. Hirschhorn reports.

EDGE Analysis

The details of Madison's situation remain behind closed doors, but it's looking increasingly unlikely that the fifth-round draft pick will suit up at any point in 2018.

Madison was placed on the Reserve/Did Not Report list as he attends to a personal matter, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

A fifth-round selection from Washington State, Cole will have to postpone his training camp debut until he returns from the personal matter.

The Packers selected Madison in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, 138th overall.

EDGE Analysis

A productive right tackle at Washington State, Madison more so has the look of a guard by NFL standards at 6-foot-5, 308 pounds with 32 and 1/4-inch arms. He didn't have the greatest combine with a 5.33-second 40, either, so a move inside would help cover up whatever athleticism he might lack.
