The first preseason game of the year is always a chance for teams to examine their rookies, and the Green Bay Packers did just that on Thursday in their 28-26 victory over the Houston Texans.
Draft picks led the way in snap counts on both offense and defense in the game. One, second-round pick Elgton Jenkins, played multiple positions on the offensive line as the team worked him onto the field both as a guard and at center. On the flip side, seventh-rounder Ty Summers played almost the entire game at inside linebacker, racking up a huge number of tackles early as the Texans stuck with the running game.
