Ripkowski (back) took part in practice on Wednesday, Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ripkowski went down in Week 3 with a back injury, but was fortunately allowed an extra week to heal with the Packers on bye in Week 4. Considering how the fullback was able to participant in full on Wednesday, the time off evidently served him well, as Ripkowski is fully expected to lace up for this Sunday's action against the Giants.
