Nearly all the players who ended the 2014 season on injured reserve were seen participating in today's practice.

Whether it was B.J. Raji or Nate Palmer, Jared Abbrederis or Don Barclay, the Green Bay Packers saw many of the veterans they lost to injured reserve last year make a return to the practice field today.

None of the guys coming off ACL injuries participated in team period. Raji, however, was participating in 11-on-11.

Meanwhile, there was a noticeable lack of participation at outside linebacker, especially with Clay Matthews reportedly running inside to start team.
Next in at ILB were Jake Ryan and Carl Bradford with the two's, followed by Joe Thomas and Nate Palmer.

At the cornerback position, Casey Hayward was a non-participant, giving Demetri Goodson a crack at the corner position opposite Sam Shields.

One other note, Jordy Nelson is listed on the DNP< but was apparently on the field for a short time.
