The two remaining Green Bay Packers who had been missing practice at the team's voluntary OTAs are both back at practice today. Cornerback Sam Shields has returned, according to the Press-Gazette's Wes Hodkiewicz: Sam Shields is back at #Packers practice after signing his tender — Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) June 4, 2013 This is a good sign. As we mentioned last week, skipping OTAs didn't really mean much in the grand scheme of things, at least not as far as Shields' contract situation was concerned. With his signing the tender and now being under contract, he can feel comfortable pra...

After Tuesday's OTA practice, Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy spoke to the media to discuss the events of the start of week two of the offseason program. One of the first topics that came up was the subject of Johnny Jolly's continued absence from the team and its offseason. He was relatively short on the subject, refusing to address it much beyond the following statement: McCarthy: Johnny Jolly is not here. I'll comment on his situation when he's part of the football team. — Tyler Dunne (@TyDunne) May 28, 2013 That doesn't sound good. He expanded on Jolly a bit, saying that ...

For a week now, Packers fans and coaches have been awaiting the return of defensive end Johnny Jolly to the team. We broke down his completion of a drug rehab course and he himself said on Twitter that he expected to be back in Green Bay for today's practice. However, if he is in town, he was not at the Don Hutson Center for practice yet today: So far no sign of Johnny Jolly at #Packers OTA inside Hutson Center. — Mike Vandermause (@MikeVandermause) May 28, 2013 I don't want to speculate too much, because we certainly don't know the story yet. It is concerning, however, that he wou...

The first practice of the week will take place at 11:30 AM Central time today, and it was originally scheduled to be open to the public. However, the practice that was supposed to be held outside at Clark H...

While several players were not practicing during the Green Bay Packers' first round of OTAs this past week, most were at least present and involved in some small way with the events taking place. A few players were not, however, and the was one large absence: defensive end Johnny Jolly. He had originally targeted May 23rd (today) for his return to Green Bay, according to Jolly himself on Twitter, but now he is expected to rejoin the team on Tuesday, May 28th. The reason for his absence last week appears to be valid, though, as it came to light yesterday that Jolly was completing a reha...
