The team continues to shuffle players through the two guard positions, and the final preseason game should help the team make its final decisions about the week one starters there. Meanwhile, the Packers still have some starting jobs to settle, particularly on the interior of the offensive line.
While Love’s spot as the Packers’ primary backup is not in question, it will be helpful to see him on the field once again before he heads to the bench for week one. He sat out last Saturday’s game against the New York Jets due to a shoulder injury he suffered in the preseason opener, and Kurt Benkert played well for much of the last game in his place. Jordan Love is expected to be back on the field for Saturday’s game, giving him another chance to take live game reps.
That’s good news for fans around the country who get the channel on cable, satellite, or streaming services, who can watch the final contest live. The Packers head to Buffalo this weekend to take on the Bills in the teams’ preseason finale on Saturday in an early afternoon game, the first game of a nationally-televised Saturday tripleheader on NFL Network. However, the team has its first road trip of the year to get through first, a trip to the banks of a different great lake. The Green Bay Packers are almost ready to conclude the preseason and training camp for 2021.
