Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Sitting out Thursday's tilt

Rodgers will not play in the Packers' preseason finale against the Chiefs on Thursday.

Analysis:

Rodgers sat out Green Bay's first two preseason games before seeing two drives against the 49ers last week. The Packers don't want to risk the star quarterback getting hurt and will instead lean on rookies Joe Callahan and Marquise Williams to handle quarterback duties for the majority of the game.
