Green Bay Packers' preseason to be Jordan Love's show as Aaron Rodgers likely to sit out

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers' 2021 preseason will be the Jordan Love show.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that quarterback Aaron Rodgers will "most likely not" play at all in the preseason. That likely has little or nothing to do with Rodgers' offseason in which he voiced concerns about the organization and skipped the entire spring program. Rodgers simply hasn't played much at all in recent preseasons.

In 2019, when LaFleur took over, Rodgers was slated to play in the third preseason game only, but that was the game in which there were concerns over the field conditions in Winnipeg and the Packers ended up not playing him.
