Brown wasn't even here for Family Night last year. The 2024 undrafted free agent was in training camp with the Broncos and did not get to Green Bay until after final roster cuts to sign to the practice squad. He got his first taste of real NFL game action late last season, when he was elevated for the final three regular-season games.

Former Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers didn’t play in the preseason during the second half of his time in Green Bay. After Rodgers was traded before the 2023 season, though, LaFleur knew that Love — a first-time starter — needed exhibition games to get ready for the regular season.

The Green Bay Packers are set to play their first preseason game on Saturday evening at Lambeau Field against the New York Jets. Unfortunately, they have received a brutal injury update about one of their key defensive starters.
