Starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers played just two series and the Packers were substituting regularly on defense by the second quarter in their 20-17 loss to the Broncos in Denver on Saturday night.
Head Coach Mike McCarthy emphasized after the game that his focus remains on getting as much film as he can to evaluate the team’s personnel in order to select the best roster next weekend.
He wasn’t as focused on getting the starters extended time, though many stayed in longer than Rodgers.
“Obviously the way we played tonight, it’s less of that,” McCarthy said, referring to regular-season prep.
