The Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers will clash on Saturday in Week 3 of the NFL preseason. Both teams have high hopes to be true contenders for this year's Super Bowl, but that means a good start to the season is a must, and Week 3 is the time when starters usually get the most field time ahead of the new season but that may not be the case here. The game has a scheduled start time of 8 p.m. ET and takes place from Lambeau Field. The game can be watched online through live stream via the link below.

Week 3 is traditionally a time where starters get at least half a game as teams put on a dress rehearsal of sorts for their season openers. However, with injuries starting to pile up for both teams in recent weeks, the game between the Eagles and Packers may not feature as many starters as many fans had hoped.

Both Jordy Nelson and Aaron Rodgers are unlikely to play here today, with Nelson obviously already out for the season, and with other injuries appearing, Rodgers may not be risked.

Tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) and guards Josh Sitton (ankle) and T.J. Lang (concussion) are all expected to be missing today, and with 60 percent of the offensive line missing, it is likely that Mike McCarthy may keep Rodgers on the sideline for most of the game rather than put him in the firing line of a first string defense.

Week 3 in the NFL preseason is a big one, with three games taking place on Friday night, and 11 more taking place on Saturday.

On Friday, the New England Patriots were able to obtain a road win over the Carolina Panthers 17-16, and although it was by no means anywhere near a complete performance, they will be pleased to have come out on the right side of the result.

The Patriots are of course dealing with the loss of Tom Brady, who through DeflateGate will miss the opening four games of the regular season. So their top priority is to make sure they cover his big absence well enough not to allow the opening games to undermine their season and push for another Super Bowl.

In other games on Saturday the Kansas City Chiefs continued to look impressive in their preseason warm-ups. The Chiefs claimed a very convincing 34-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans, and their preseason form will give them hope that they can make a significant impact in the new season.

Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions looked far from their best, but still saw off a Jacksonville Jaguars team that looks like it is on the way up, but still a few seasons away from being able to seriously compete for postseason spots. The Lions came away from Jacksonville with a 22-17 victory.

Saturday's games feature 11 match ups, and being Week 3 fans can expect a much more intensive affair, with starters being given more field time as final preparations for the new season are put in place. Week 3 is traditionally a time where teams look to ramp things up significantly from previous weeks, and can be more intensive than Week 4 as teams look to be more cautious about injuries in the final preseason week as the new season gets close.
