GREEN BAY — During his two-practice cameo appearance at the Green Bay Packers’ offseason program last week, Aaron Rodgers made it crystal clear his participation would be limited to the team’s two mandatory minicamp practices.
The quarterback had no intention of hanging around for the final week of organized team activity practices after skipping the voluntary OTA workouts earlier in the program.
“It’s minicamp,” Rodgers said after his first practice, “then I’m out.”
He was hardly alone in his absence during Tuesday’s final open-to-the-media OTA session, when virtually every recognizable veteran name on the roster joined him in getting a head start on summer vacation.
