Ripkowski is listed as the Packers' starting fullback for Week 1.

EDGE Analysis

Ripkowski was pushed by fellow fullback Joe Kerridge during training camp, but Kerridge landed on injured reserve with a calf injury and the Packers don't have any other fullbacks on the roster, so Ripkowski will have the job all to himself to open the regular season. Ripkowski totaled 43 touches a year ago, and he again figures to be more involved in the offense than the average fullback.
