Report: Rodgers not expected to attend minicamp
Reigning league MVP Aaron Rodgers is not expected to attend the Green Bay Packers' mandatory minicamp when it begins Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
The star quarterback wasn't at OTAs amid a dispute with the organization and there appears to be no end in sight to the stalemate.
The 37-year-old signal-caller can be fined $93,085 for not attending the mandatory minicamp. However, the Packers have discussed excusing him, which would make Rodgers ineligible to be fined.
Rodgers opened up about his disagreement with the team during an appearance on "Sportscenter" in May, pointing to issues with the club's philosophy. Green Bay is reportedly holding firm on not trading the 2020 MVP.
The Packers are poised to get their top wide receivers back, though, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The Packers were without their top five receivers for OTAs last month as Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard, Devin Funchess, and Equanimeous St. Brown didn't participate. All five are currently in town or expected to arrive. Head coach Matt LaFleur previously said there's no reason for him to believe the wide receivers coordinated their absences from the voluntary sessions.
The Packers' mandatory minicamp is scheduled to run June 8-10.
