Overview
- The Packers’ starters opened the preseason game with a 12-play, 66-yard drive that ended in an 11-yard touchdown catch by MarShawn Lloyd.
- Jordan Love completed 5 of 7 passes for 56 yards and the touchdown on that series and posted a 134.5 passer rating for the drive.
- Wide receiver Matthew Golden converted a fourth down with a 19-yard catch and drew a pass-interference penalty on the same drive.
- Coaches ended Love’s night after the one series as planned and are shifting live evaluation of starters to scheduled joint practices.
- The strategy reflects a league-wide push to limit starter preseason snaps to reduce injury risk while using joint practices and exhibition minutes to assess depth players.
