The Green Bay Packers will host the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night as the two teams face off in the final week of the NFL preseason. Week 4 is traditionally a time when most teams rest their starters, not wanting to risk them being injured for the start of the regular season, and that is likely to be the case here tonight. The game has a scheduled start time of 7 p.m. ET and takes place from Lambeau Field. The game can be watched online through live stream via the link below.

Today's game may not have too many implications for starters, who will spend most of the time on the sidelines. However, it could have massive implications for players who are fighting for backup place, as well as rookies who are fighting for a spot on the final 53 man rosters.

The big news for the Green Bay Packers recently was the season-ending ACL injury for wide receiver Jordy Nelson, and that will be a massive blow to their hopes for the coming season.

That news was made all the worse last week when receiver Randall Cobb was seen leaving the field in Week 3's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. That could mean the team still has a lot to organize before things kick off in the regular season in a few weeks time.

Week 3 was probably a more accurate assessment of where each team lies in their preparations for the new season, as most teams played a majority of their starters for half a game or more last week.

In Week 3, the New England Patriots managed to claim a 17-16 win over the Carolina Panthers, and they also received some good news this week with a court overruling the four game ban on quarterback Tom Brady.

In other games on Friday 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.

On Saturday last week, the Buffalo Bills stormed to a massive 43-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the New York Jets were able to claim a 28-18 win over city rivals, the New York Giants.

In a low scoring game the Miami Dolphins claimed a 13-9 win over the Atlanta Falcons, and the Minnesota Vikings gained a win over the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 28-14.

The Cleveland Browns looked good in their Week 3 outing, defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-7, where as the Washington Redskins also piled on the points in a 31-13 win over the Baltimore Ravens.

The Chicago Bears were unable to hold their own against the Cincinnati Bengals, losing 21-10, where as the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers played out the highest scoring game of Week 3, with the Eagles coming out on top 39-26.

The Indianapolis Colts defeated the St Louis Rams 24-10, where as the Seattle Seahawks claimed a tight win 16-15 victory over the San Diego Chargers, and the Denver Broncos gained a 19-12 win over the San Francisco 49ers.

On Sunday in Week 3, there were two more games, and the Houston Texans won 27-13 over the New Orleans Saints, and the Arizona Cardinals defeated the Oakland Raiders 30-23.
