The Green Bay Packers are getting a big boost along the offensive line to start their offseason workout program.

Guard Cole Madison, who sat out his entire rookie season in 2018 while dealing with a personal issue, reported to Lambeau Field and was reinstated to the roster Monday, according to Field Yates of ESPN.

The Packers’ official roster now includes Madison, who spent all of last year on the “did not report” list.

The Packers made Madison a fifth-round pick last year. He participated during the team’s offseason workout program but did not report for training camp.

GM Brian Gutekunst and the Packers remained supportive of Madison’s decision to step away throughout the process.

A right tackle at Washington State, Madison is expected to compete for playing time at guard in Green Bay. He could provide quality depth as the Packers attempt to put the pieces in place along the offensive line for new coach Matt LaFleur.
