Losing your star receiver will change a player's outlook on preseason games.
During his postgame press conference on Sunday, which came just hours after the Packers lost No. 1 receiver Jordy Nelson to a severe knee injury, Aaron Rodgers called for the preseason schedule to be cut in half.
“It’s difficult to lose a guy like that in a meaningless game,” Rodgers said after the Packers 24-19 loss to the Steelers.
“This game doesn’t mean anything."
Rodgers doesn’t think the entire preseason should be eliminated, but two games should be enough.
