Aaron Rodgers out of Packers' Preseason Game vs. Ravens with Back Injury

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will not play in Thursday night's preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens due to back tightness.

According to Mike Spofford of Packers.com, it was a "precautionary" decision. He had previously been expected to play a "quarter or so" after sitting out the team's preseason opener against the Houston Texans on Aug. 8.

Rodgers has been durable throughout his career, though the 35-year-old has had two significant injuries that caused him to miss multiple games in a season.

In 2013, Rodgers broke his left collarbone during a game against the Chicago Bears that kept him out for seven games.
