Packers notes: While Aaron Rodgers’ preseason snaps should go up, he could sit out opener against Texans

GREEN BAY — With a new offense to master and a new play-caller to get on the same wavelength with, Aaron Rodgers has said several times this offseason that he expects to play more in this preseason than he has in recent years.

But based on what new head coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday, the Green Bay Packers two-time NFL MVP quarterback isn’t likely to suit up for the team’s Aug. 8 preseason opener against the Houston Texans. At least, not if he gets the work LaFleur is hoping he will during the Packers’ two joint practices with the Texans next Monday and Tuesday.
