Packers Prepare for Preseason Finale Against Ravens
GREEN BAY – The Green Bay Packers have decided to rest all their starters for the second consecutive week as they approach their final preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens. This includes several regular players and top backups, along with those who are injured. As a result, a considerable list of players will not participate in this important matchup on Saturday.
The Packers will face the Ravens at Lambeau Field, marking their first and only home game of the preseason. Key players looking for opportunities to secure a spot on the roster include backup quarterbacks Sean Clifford and Michael Pratt, who aim to improve their performances following a lackluster showing in their previous game.
Fans can expect live updates on the game, including an in-game chat led by Tom Silverstein, as the Packers look to showcase their talent against the Ravens. As the game approaches, it is notable that both teams have opted to rest their star quarterbacks, with Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson also sidelined for this contest.
In the context of individual performances, the Packers’ kickers are earning attention, with Greg Joseph and Anders Carlson competing for the placekicking position. Joseph missed a 32-yard field goal during the game, which raised questions about his reliability. Conversely, Carlson managed to maintain a perfect kicking record, making a 54-yard field goal earlier in the game.
This matchup provides an opportunity for lesser-known players to demonstrate their skills and potentially earn a place on the final roster. Key running backs Ellis Merriweather and Nate McCrary are stepping up to showcase their abilities, especially in the absence of injured players. The Packers’ defense is also performing well, registering multiple takeaways throughout the game.
