Forty five minutes before the Packers took on the Ravens in their second exhibition game, the air spiraled out of the collective excitement balloon. Green Bay announced Aaron Rodgers wouldn’t, in fact, make his preseason debut as originally expected due to back tightness. Perhaps Matt LaFleur looks to be following in the footsteps of his former boss Sean McVay in at least one way: he doesn’t think preseason reps matter that much.
Don’t tell that to Curtis Bolton, who starred Thursday night and looks to be in solid position to replace Oren Burks at inside linebacker next to Blake Martinez.
