GREEN BAY — Micah Hyde, predictably, took the high road.

For the ex-Green Bay Packers defensive back-turned-Buffalo Bills Pro Bowl safety, Sunday’s return to Lambeau Field is not about showing his former team what a colossal mistake it made in not re-signing him after the 2016 season. Or so Hyde insisted earlier this week, even as a couple of Wisconsin reporters teased him for holding back his true feelings and a couple of Western New York reporters good-naturedly called him out for his revisionist history.

“After the game, I don’t look at my stats and say, ‘This is what Green Bay missed out on,’ ” Hyde said in a phone interview. “It’s not like that. I know that it’s a business and I learned that last year. I have so many friends on the Packers that I talk to to this day, that were at my wedding over the summer. We talk all the time. I wish them nothing but the best. It was the organization that gave me my first opportunity in the NFL. They took a leap of faith when they drafted me. So, no, I don’t have any bad blood against them and I wish them the best.”
