With Aaron Rodgers and Scott Tolzien sitting out, rookie Brett Hundley
threw for 315 yards and 2 touchdowns.  He
did throw a pick 6 to the Eagles Walter Thurmond as the Eagles scored 39 points
in the 1^st half, mostly against the Packers #1 defense.  The injury bug bit the Packers again on

was a season ender like Jordy Nelson.

injury.  The Packers wrap up the
preseason on Thursday night when they host New Orleans.
