What channel is Packers vs. 49ers on today? Time, TV schedule for NFL Week 1 preseason game
The NFC Championship hopefuls kick off their preseason on Friday night, and it will be a battle between familiar and new foes.
Niners coach Kyle Shanahan and Packers boss Matt LaFleur are longtime friends who have become adversaries on the field. Though the two head coaches have traded wins and losses over the years, their relationship remains strong.
However, there is a question of passers on both sidelines.
While there is still some speculation as to how much (if any) Aaron Rodgers will play Friday night, the reigning MVP will be eyeing the potential future on the other sidelines in Trey Lance. Lance is heading into the season as the team’s starting quarterback despite some questions about Jimmy Garoppolo’s standing on the team.
