The Green Bay Packers host the New Orleans Saints on Friday night at Lambeau Field for preseason Week 2 fresh off of two days of joint practices. Both teams enter this matchup after dropping their preseason openers.
Earlier this week, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers expressed his displeasure with the performance of the team’s young receivers. The receivers redeemed themselves the next day.
“I appreciate this about Aaron, the urgency to get some of this stuff corrected, I mean, you can’t make the same mistake twice,” Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday. “Not in this league. We don’t have time for that. Certainly, he’s the ultimate competitor.
“I think it’s good for these guys to feel that because we’ve got to make sure that they continue to show progress each and every day. It’ll be a good opportunity today to see how these young guys respond.”
Meanwhile, the Saints are suffering from injuries as their starting left tackle James Hurst and his backup Trevor Penning, one of the team’s first-round draft picks, left practice early Wednesday with injuries. This situation is still being monitored.
In their last regular-season meeting during Week 1 of the 2021 season, the Saints won, 38-3.
