The Green Bay Packers are progressing nicely through their offseason workout plan, completing their second open Organized Team Activity (OTA) practice on Tuesday. With the media in attendance, we got a better look at the team.

To be clear, this was a shirts and shorts practice, so the information we can glean from the process is limited. Still, it’s nice to get something to analyze heading into June.

As a young team, the Packers will take their fair share of bumps and bruises this offseason and when the season begins. However, it’s the flashes of positive growth we are looking for. And here are three positive signs from their second open OTA.

As the Green Bay Packers continue to progress through their offseason workouts, here are three positive signs from their second open OTA.

Positive signs from Packers second open OTA: Veterans returned

Green Bay was missing several veterans during their first open OTA. The good news is most of them returned, with David Bakhtiari, Elgton Jenkins, Preston Smith and Dallin Leavitt entering the fray. Bakhtiari only participated in individual drills as Green Bay tries to keep his workload light during the offseason.

Jaire Alexander, Jonathan Garvin, Keisean Nixon and Rasul Douglas were the only remaining veterans who did not show. Devonte Wyatt, Tucker Kraft, Grant Dubose and Dontayvion Wicks were present, but didn’t practice due to injuries.
