As spring practices begin winding down this week around the NFL, attention is starting to shift to training camp and the preseason. That is the case for fans of specific teams as well as the NFL and its broadcasting arm, NFL Network, which announced on Monday that it will air the broadcasts of 22 preseason games live on the channel this August.
Fans of the Green Bay Packers should be pleased by this development, as two of the Packers’ three exhibition games are among these nationally-televised contests. The two are the Packers’ first and third preseason games, road dates against the San Francisco 49ers on Friday, August 12th and the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday, August 25th.
