Packers’ Wagner savors chance to play for home-state team

Associated Press  

Green Bay Packers offensive tackle Rick Wagner says the decision to sign with his home-state team was easy. Wagner is attempting to bounce back from a down season while making sure the Packers don’t take a step back at right tackle, a position that Bryan Bulaga filled capably for the last decade. “I remember getting a couple o-linemen, I don’t know,” Wagner said. You don’t really stay the same.” Packers coach Matt LaFleur acknowledges that Wagner “did battle through some stuff last year” and that “I think you could see it toward the end of last season.” But LaFleur added that Wagner’s career track record suggests he can bounce back. “There’s a reason he’s started for so many seasons now.” Wagner still must win this job.
