"He pushed back," said Saleh. "He wanted to go, but in the grand scheme of things we're trying to think forward thinking with regards to Week 1, and we've got a long way for that. We'll have other opportunities coming up with Carolina and the Giants."in the coming weeks. It's worth noting that Rodgers participated in the team's joint practice with the Panthers last summer.
