Rookie tight end Richard Rodgers started for the Packers on Saturday night, playing the entire 12-play opening drive, reports the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. He was not targeted but he lined up all over the field and was more open in the end zone than Randall Cobb when Aaron Rodgers hit Cobb for a 3-yard touchdown.
Richard Rodgers is battling Brandon Bostick and Andrew Quarless for the starting job.
