The Packers are getting ready to face the Tennessee Titans in the first preseason game of the year on Thursday night. Because this is the first preseason game, a good amount of starters likely won't see action because the coaching staff wants to evaluate the younger talent on the roster.

Another reason is the Packers don't want to risk any of their key players getting injured while playing in a game that doesn't count. Aaron Rodgers hasn't played a preseason opener since 2015 and he probably won't see any action until the third preseason contest against the Raiders.

Speaking of injuries, the Packers will go into the game vs. the Titans with a number of players dealing with health issues. Here's a look at the injury report heading into the first preseason game based on who missed practice on Tuesday.

WR Randall Cobb - ankle

Cobb had surgery on his ankle during the offseason and has been dealing with soreness the last few days. It's unlikely Cobb would have seen much action even if he was healthy, but the coaches will likely keep him out just to play it safe.

WR Trevor Davis - hamstring

It's not known if Davis will play on Thursday night, but he did not practice on all week and he's looking to be a key part of the Packers rotation. Davis is the team's primary returner, so if he's out on Thursday night, we could see Ty Montgomery take his place.

CB Kevin King - shoulder

King has not practiced the last two days because of an injured shoulder. The good news is it's not the shoulder he had surgery on last year which caused him to miss half the season.

CB Jaire Alexander - groin

Like King, Alexander has missed the last two practices because of an injured groin. Fans want to see the first-round pick in action, but the coaches may hold him out so he can be 100 percent for the regular season.

RB Devante Mays - hamstring

Mays was making some noise in camp before the injured hamstring. He's looking to bounce back from a rough rookie season which included two fumbles in his first two carries. RB

RB Aaron Jones - hamstring

Jones has not practiced since last week because of the hamstring injury. He will miss the first two games of the season because of his suspension, so the coaches are hoping he can get back on the field so he can get as many snaps as possible.

FB Joe Kerridge - shoulder

Kerridge has been dealing with the shoulder injury all throughout camp. This means Aaron Ripkowksi will see a lot of snaps on Thursday.

OLB Nick Perry - ankle (PUP)

Perry has yet to practice at camp, but head coach Mike McCarthy said he's getting close to returning. Perry was second on the team in sacks last year with seven.

LT David Bakhtiari - ankle

Bakhtiari injured his ankle at family night, but he will be fine as it's just a sprain. Bakhtiari is arguably the best left tackle in the NFL as he's been named to the All-Pro Second Team the last two years.

DL Mike Daniels - quad

Daniels suffered a minor quad injury last week and the coaches are keeping him out of practice. He will be ready to go once the regular season begins.

TE Jimmy Graham - knee

Graham injured his knee on Monday, but it's not a serious injury. It would be surprising to see him out on the field this Thursday.

DL Muhammad Wilkerson - groin

Like Wilkerson'slkeron's injury is not serious. He'll likely sit out on Thursday, which will give the young guys like Montravious Adams and James Looney an opportunity to make plays.
