GREEN BAY, Wis. – Davante Adams and the Green Bay Packers’ veteran receivers, who stayed away from the first two weeks of the voluntary organized team activities, were on the field for Day 1 of the mandatory minicamp on Tuesday.

While Aaron Rodgers upped the ante in his dispute with the franchise, Adams and fellow receivers Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard, Equanimeous St. Brown and Devin Funchess were on the practice field, as was cornerback Jaire Alexander, who also skipped the start of OTAs.

Having missed out on six practices, those players took varied rep counts on a steamy midday practice at Clarke Hinkle Field. Adams, for instance, did only some individual drills.

“We’re not trying to do anything crazy,” Adams said. “I think there’s a lot of guys we’ve got out there, a lot of new faces that need to be out there and get some experience. A much shorter offseason than we’ve had in the past, so I think just getting a couple extra faces out there and getting them some reps is the focus. I don’t think I need to prove too much in OTAs right now, just keep making sure I’m in shape and still get my workouts in. That’s what matters.”
