Wtmj Packers Flagship Podcast

Today is a Packers Gameday. It's the third preseason game, and the Packers are in Denver facing the Broncos. Normally, quarterback Aaron Rodgers plays sparingly in the preseason. He's already played one series in Washington, and if he plays at all in the remainder of the August games, it would be tonight. You won't see tackle Bryan Bulaga tonight. He's recovering from an ankle ailment from earlier this week in practice. Defensive end Dean Lowry is also among about a dozen other injured Packers. He's not expected to take the field, but starting running back Ty Montgomery should play.

The roster cuts the Packers must make by September 2nd will certainly hurt the 37 men who will have their NFL dream deferred, but GM Ted Thompson describes how it's not easy for him and Coach Mike McCarthy to make and communicate their decisions. Plus, a legendary Packers lineman from the Lombardi era is one step closer to long-deferred immortality in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The Packers legend, five-time All Pro and five-time NFL champion joined Scaffidi and Bilstad.

As the Green Bay Packers are wondering about the health of Bryan Bulaga after an injury Wednesday, they are also seeing a draft pick on the offensive line struggle through the preseason.

As the Green Bay Packers start to see players return from injury for their third preseason game, they're also seeing more growth from the man who would take over for Aaron Rodgers if he gets injured - quarterback Brett Hundley.

The results of Saturday night have meant a heat-up in the battle for the third string quarterback battle between Joe Callahan and Taysom Hill. The Packers have also adjusted public practice times for today and tomorrow.

It's not the 21-17 score over Washington that's the best sign for the Green Bay Packers. It's how well they did in the eye test during their second preseason game - particularly three of their quarterbacks. Jay Sorgi reviews the game.
