GREEN BAY – Perhaps nobody on the Packers’ roster understands the agony and ecstasy of cut-down day better than Christian Ringo.
The young defensive tackle has been on both sides of the bubble. As a sixth-round pick in 2015, Ringo received the call no player wants to get during the final day of training camp.
After spending his entire rookie season on Green Bay’s practice squad, Ringo anxiously awaited his fate from the stands at Lambeau Field last year, watching Wisconsin play LSU.
The Badgers won and Ringo’s phone never rang. He made the roster and stayed there for the entire 2016 season, playing in nine games (including playoffs).
