GREEN BAY – Vince Biegel’s childhood dream is on the verge of coming true.
The Packers activated the Wisconsin Rapids native and fourth-round rookie draft pick off the physically unable to perform list Friday, clearing a path for Biegel to potentially make his NFL debut as early as this Monday against Detroit.
It’s been a long waiting process for the 6-foot-3, 246-pound linebacker, who was sidelined for the entire offseason program and training camp after undergoing foot surgery shortly after the Packers’ rookie orientation camp in May.
Biegel returned to practice on Oct. 18, opening a three-week window to add him to the 53-man roster.
