Preseason football is finally here. The Green Bay Packers open up their exhibition schedule this evening after a long seven months since their last game, the Divisional Playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Today’s game comes against those same 49ers, though few players who were prominently featured in that game are likely to play tonight.
Instead, Jordan Love and Trey Lance will start at quarterback for the two teams, with Aaron Rodgers sitting and Jimmy Garoppolo now behind Lance on the depth chart. Rodgers is hardly the only veteran sitting for the Packers, however, as the team is expected to have numerous key players inactive for the game.
