Packers QB Aaron Rodgers said he thinks he’ll play Thursday vs. the Steelers. Said he’s eager to play at home and is less likely to play in the third and fourth games.

Needless to say, it is a bit surprising to see Rodgers will make a preseason debut at all. Players of his caliber are usually held out of such meaningless games due to the risk of injury. However, it seems Rodgers is anxious to see some live action.

Green Bay has high hopes for the 2018 NFL season, and the health of Rodgers is the main reason why. That said, it is likely that the Packers' star will only get one or two series at the most before calling it a night. Rodgers' decision to get his only preseason snaps at home may be due to preparation and fanfare to start the year off on the right foot.
