The Facts: The Packers added Ripkowski (shoulder) to the injury report and he's now questionable for tomorrow's game against the Giants.
Diehards Line:
When the Packers defeated the Giants 23-16 in their Week 5 game in early October, Ripkowski was a bit player in Green Bay's offense. He was on the field for all of 25 of the Packers' 80 plays. He touched the football only two times, both on rushing attempts. Fast forward three months, and the bruising second-year pro could be an "X" factor if he plays tomorrow. The 6-1, 246-pound Ripkowski had career highs of nine carries and 61 rushing yards as well as two catches for 15 yards with a seven-yard touchdown in the Packers' NFC North-clinching win at the Lions on Sunday night. ... We'll have his official game status -- along with that of Randall Cobb (questionable, ankle) -- in the 90 minutes leading up to kickoff.
