Packers reinstate OG Cole Madison to active roster

The team officially reinstated Madison to their active roster in time to report for the offseason program, which began on Monday.

Source: Packers G Cole Madison, a fifth-round pick last year who stepped away from football in August due to personal reasons, was reinstated to the roster today as they begun their offseason program. Good to see.

Madison, one of three fifth-round picks selected by general manager Brian Gutekunst in last year's draft, was supposed to provide quality depth to the Packers' offensive line and, eventually, a potential starter.

Instead, a tragedy in his personal life caused Madison to step away from football for the entirety of his rookie season.
