Packers' Matthew Golden risk proves Matt LaFleur is ignoring a brutal lesson

Matthew Golden has nothing to prove. The Green Bay Packers need him for the regular-season opener in two weeks and shouldn't take any unnecessary risks.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur rolled the dice by playing Jordan Love in the preseason opener, and that decision haunted him. Love injured his thumb and needed surgery, a decision that sidelined him for a week and has limited his reps since returning.

It appears LaFleur is willing to take the same unnecessary risk with Golden. According to Easton Butler of Packer Report, Golden believes he will feature for one series against the Seattle Seahawks in Saturday's preseason finale.
