While other NFL teams are dealing with star players staying away from minicamp over contract disputes, the Green Bay Packers have excused 16 veteran players from this week’s three-day “mandatory minicamp.”

Today at Ray Nitschke Field, safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix returned to the team after missing organized team activities. Clinton-Dix told us that he was dealing with a personal issue and the death of his godmother, as we discussed last week.

Hear what Clinton-Dix said today in the Locker Room at 4:15 PM on SportsLine.
