Packers’ preseason quarterback game plan? Lots of (Jordan) Love, zero Aaron Rodgers

GREEN BAY — With a starting quarterback who’s seen everything and done everything and a backup quarterback who has yet to wear his No. 10 jersey on a game day, Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur’s preseason game plan for the position shouldn't surprise anyone.

LaFleur simply confirmed Wednesday what most expected: He does not intend to play 37-year-old starter Aaron Rodgers at all during the team’s three preseason games, and 22-year-old backup Jordan Love will play a ton — starting with Saturday night’s preseason opener against the Houston Texans at Lambeau Field. No. 3 quarterback Kurt Benkert will get the rest of the preseason work based on LaFleur’s plans.
