KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ Only the most ardent fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and
Green Bay Packers will likely care much about what transpires in their preseason
game at Arrowhead Stadium Thursday night.
Then again, the guys on the field will care very much about what happens.
The Chiefs and Packers are expected to play few, if any, starters in their
fourth preseason game, turning the proceedings over to their backups instead.
And in some cases, not even the backups will see game action _ the Chiefs are
resting quarterbacks Alex Smith and Nick Foles, and Aaron Rodgers and ailing
Packers backup Brett Hundley will enjoy the night in a ball cap.
Some coaches have said they will play their starters for a series or quarter
Thursday night, if only to knock off the last vestiges of rust.
But the Chiefs and Packers are content with the statuses of their veteran
cores, so much so that many of players on both teams have skipped the preseason
entirely.
