GREEN BAY — Vince Biegel, a fourth-round pick (No. 108 overall) a year ago, said in a text message that he was “very surprised” Saturday when he got the call to turn in his iPad playbook. Biegel missed all of last offseason and training camp after undergoing May 2017 surgery on both of his feet following the post-draft minicamp but was healthy all spring and summer this year.

Biegel was having a quiet preseason before tying for the team lead in tackles in the finale at Kansas City Thursday night with six. He said before the game that he felt “very confident” in his status but that he wasn’t complacent.

“If you ask, ‘Vince, do you like where you’re at?’ Obviously, I’m happy where I’m at, but I’m always trying to get better. I’m not in this to be complacent,” Biegel said after Tuesday’s closed practice. “Am I happy with where I’m at? Yeah, I am, but I think I can get a lot better — there’s a lot of room for improvement. That’s what I’m excited about the rest of the season — I’m excited to continue to grow and progress this season.”
