The preseason finale will be a true evaluation game on the fringes of the roster for the Green Bay Packers. The team announced 38 players — including quarterback Jordan Love and all projected starters — won’t play against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday at Lambeau Field.
On the Packers Radio Network pre-game show, coach Matt LaFleur said the starters got good work during Thursday’s joint practice, and the risk of playing important players wasn’t worth the reward.
