GREEN BAY, Wis. – The word mandatory applies only to certain members of the Green Bay Packers when it comes to this week’s minicamp.
For the second year in a row, coach Mike McCarthy excused selected veterans from what is the only mandatory event of the offseason workout schedule, he said during an interview Monday on ESPN 540 Milwaukee radio at his charity golf outing to benefit American Family Children's Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin.
Last year, any player with at least five years of NFL experience was given the week off. McCarthy will enact the same plan this year.
