'I think I'll play:' Packers vs. Steelers at Lambeau in 2nd preseason game; could see Rodgers at the helm
GREEN BAY -- After their 31-17 victory over the Tennessee Titans in their preseason opener, the Green Bay Packers take on the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Aug. 16 at Lambeau Field.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
We could see QB Aaron Rodgers at the helm for the first time. Don't expect him to play much, but he said he does want to play in front of the home fans. The last time he played at Lambeau was Sept. 28, 2017 vs. the Bears.

"I think I'll play. I think I'll probably play this week. I'd like to in front of our fans. You know, being that we got the first two at home it would be nice to get out there back on Lambeau. Obviously when I came back from my injury it was on the road so I haven't played at home for a long time," said Rodgers.
Against the Titans, fans saw Brett Hundley, DeShone Kizer and Tim Boyle run the Packers' offense, but it is looking like this week, Rodgers will make an appearance.
The victory over the Titans marked the fourth consecutive year Green Bay has won the first preseason game played.
