Green Bay — In a particularly sluggish performance, the Packers offense could only manage 226 total yards in a 26-13 loss to the Ravens. Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers did not play due to back tightness. The team said he was being held out as a precautionary measure. Running back Aaron Jones was the only other offensive starter not in uniform. He’s recovering from a hamstring injury.

DeShone Kizer started for the Packers, but he went just 5 of 10 passing for 70 yards. Third stringer Tim Boyle was of 12 of 21 passing for 107 yards and a touchdown to Darrius Shepherd.

Green Bay had 55 rushing yards for the game.

The Packers next preseason game is Thursday against the Raiders in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Kickoff is set for 7 P.M.
