Aaron Rodgers on Pitch Count at Packers Practice to Avoid 'Wear and Tear' on Arm

The Green Bay Packers are taking things slow with Aaron Rodgers now that the quarterback's spat with the team has been resolved.

With the reigning NFL MVP having missed all of the Packers' offseason workouts, the team will start him off on a pitch count in training camp to make sure his arm is fresh and ready to go in Week 1.

"I think we're mindful of that with all our quarterbacks, just making sure [of] that because having three quarterbacks, that's a lot of wear and tear on the arm and we don't want to burn 'em out too early," Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Friday.
