He won't be coaching on the sideline, but former Green Bay Packers coach Mike Holmgren will be in Lambeau Field when the exhibition season begins for the Packers and Cleveland Browns.
The Packers will open the exhibition season at home with the Browns the weekend of Aug. 12-15. It is the first of four exhibition games that were announced Wednesday as part of the NFL's league-wide pre-season schedule.
The Browns game is for Gold Package (Milwaukee) season ticket holders.
The lone nationally televised game the Packers will play is against Indianapolis on Thursday, Aug. 26, against the Indianapolis Colts at Lambeau Field.
In Week 2, the Packers play at Seattle (Aug. 19-23) and in Week 4 play at Kansas City (Sept. 2-3). This marks the first time since 2001 the Packers have played someone other than Tennessee in their final exhibition game.
I like that the only important preseason game is against the only good opponent we play in preseason.
