Got something to say?

Both the Green Bay Packers and Tennessee Titans will take it easy on their starters when they play their final preseason game tonight. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 PM EST at the Coliseum in Nashville.

Brett Favre and Ahman Green will see very little playing time in this game. Backup Craig Nall and rookie Aaron Rodgers will get the majority of snaps at quarterback. Najeh Davenport and Tony Fisher will get the majority of snaps at running back. Defensive tackles Cletidus Hunt and Grady Jackson could see their first game action of the preseason. Antonio Chatman, Terrence Murphy, and Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila are all nursing injuries and may not even dress for this game.

All three of the Tennessee Titans top running backs are banged up and will likely be held out. Travis Henry has an ankle problem, Chris Brown has a bad toe, and Jarrett Peyton is coming off a slight concussion and a neck strain. That means the Larry Croom and Damien Nash will get plenty of opportunities to fight for a roster spot. The increasingly fragile Steve McNair will likely play just one series before giving way to Billy Volek and Chris Redman. This game should be the debut of receiver Troy Edwards, who was acquired by the team on Tuesday after being cut by Jacksonville earlier in the week.
