# Jordan Love to play limited snaps for Packers vs Steelers in NFL preseason opener 2026-08-13T23:07:36+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Quarterback Jordan Love is expected to see limited playing time in the Green Bay Packers' NFL preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night, according to Hindustan Times. Love, 27, confirmed plans with head coach Matt LaFleur to play a 'limited role,' focusing on avoiding hits, especially during scrambles. Last year, Love suffered a thumb injury on his non-throwing hand in preseason action. Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, now with the Steelers, will sit out the game against his former team. Rodgers has questioned the value of preseason snaps for established players, calling it 'not real football.' Mason Rudolph is set to start for Pittsburgh, followed by Will Howard and Drew Allar. Rodgers may play later in preseason, possibly against the New York Jets on August 21. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: Green Bay Packers, injury management, Jordan Love, NFL preseason, Pittsburgh Steelers, sports-news Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/packers-qb-jordan-love-to-play-limited-snaps-in-steelers-opener/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
