GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers started to use the word "workload," but then the Green Bay Packers quarterback stopped himself.
"It's hard to say workload with the amount of plays I've played the last few years in preseason," Rodgers said Monday.
That suggests Rodgers doesn't think he will play much, if at all, against the Indianapolis Colts in Sunday's Hall of Fame game.
But no one is saying for sure.
On the other hand, Colts coach Chuck Pagano revealed Monday that quarterback Andrew Luck and the rest of the available starters will play against the Packers.
"We'll do our play-time report. We'll do that on Friday," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said before Monday night's practice. "It's important for us. We have tonight's practice and then Wednesday and Thursday night's practice before we lock in who's going to play in Canton."
Last summer, Rodgers played in only two of the four preseason games, and he hasn't played in a preseason finale since 2012. However, playing in the Hall of Fame game is new territory for the Packers under McCarthy. They haven't played in the fifth preseason game since 2003, three years before McCarthy took over as coach.
McCarthy indicated this offseason that he planned to devote the extra preseason snaps to his young players.
"Whatever Mike has us do, I don't know what his plan is yet," Rodgers said. "We've got five preseason games. ... Whatever he wants us to do we'll do. Whether that's a series or a quarter or more than that, we'll be ready to play."
It also appears unlikely that any of the six players who opened camp on the physically unable to perform list will play against the Colts. McCarthy said Monday that guard T.J. Lang is the closest among them to being ready to practice.
The only known activity planned for Rodgers in Canton is a trip to the Hall of Fame to watch Brett Favre's induction. The Packers are staying in Cleveland in advance of the game, but Rodgers and a contingent of Packers' coaches and front-office executives will be in attendance for Saturday night's ceremony, which includes the induction of former Packers assistant coach Kevin Greene (who will be presented by defensive coordinator Dom Capers).
"It'll be great," Rodgers said. "I obviously played with Brett for three years, and Kevin was coaching here for a long time. As a player, it's one of the highest honors to get that jacket on. I'm sure it's exciting for both those guys. With Kevin having Dom do his intro and then Brett having his wife, Deanna, do the intros, it's going to be really special to be a part of. It'll be fun to see them accept that great honor."
