For a second straight year, Packers veterans get to hit vacation mode early.
Head coach Mike McCarthy announced the decision Monday, continuing a policy that excuses veterans with a certain level of experience from the team's mandatory minicamp. The Packers are set to begin camp on Tuesday.
Coach Mike McCarthy said on @WildeAndTausch that, like last year, #Packers vets are excused from this week's mandatory minicamp.
#Packers vets who are entering their sixth #NFL season or later won't be at minicamp, which runs Tuesday through Thursday.
