The Green Bay Packers excused veteran defensive backs Xavier McKinney, Jaire Alexander and Keisean Nixon from mandatory minicamp, which began Tuesday and runs through Thursday. Coach Matt LaFleur said all three were allowed to miss minicamp after fulfilling their contractual obligations in terms of attendance during the offseason workout program.
“They were excused. The way I view minicamp, it’s an extension of OTAs,” LaFleur said Tuesday. “Those are three guys who have workout bonuses in their contracts. They fulfilled their requirements and did a really good job, and actually exceeded what they could have done.
