McCarthy comments on missing veterans
Green Bay -- Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy on Tuesday offered an update on the status of the three veteran players who have yet to take part in the team's voluntary workout sessions -- cornerbacks Al Harris and Charles Woodson and defensive tackle Ryan Pickett.
"We've spoken to those guys throughout this whole process," said McCarthy. "All three of their situations are different. On an individual basis, Harris I do not expect (to participate at all), Woodson is up in the air right now and Pickett I do expect."
Harris is believed to be boycotting all voluntary workout sessions because he's unhappy with his contract. Woodson, who had been out of the country, is back in the United States, McCarthy said. No reasons have been floated for Pickett's absence.
Missing for a second straight day were wide receiver Rod Gardner and tight end David Martin. Wide receiver Donald Driver was also absent.
Returning was middle linebacker Nick Barnett, who McCarthy said had been missing due to a family matter.
Cornerbacks Mike Hawkins (knee laceration) and Jason Horton (back) dropped out of practice.
