Keeping options open: The Packers' matchup against Carolina is the only game on Green Bay's regular-season schedule without a set date, time and network.
For now, the NFL is leaving the door open for that contest to be held in Green Bay on either Saturday, Dec. 19, or Sunday, Dec. 20.
Preseason slate: In addition to the regular-season schedule, the NFL announced the Packers' tentative preseason slate and it has a slightly different look than previous years.
Green Bay is scheduled to host Arizona in the Bishop's Charities Game sometime between Aug. 13-17. It's the first time the Packers will have played host to the Cardinals in the preseason since the 2013 opener.
The Packers will then host the Cleveland Browns in the Midwest Shrine Game the following week (Aug. 20-24) before traveling to face the New York Giants (Aug. 27-30). Green Bay hasn't played a preseason game in the New York/New Jersey area since a 10-2 loss to the Giants on Aug. 17, 1985.
For the eighth time in the last 10 years, the Packers will close the preseason against Kansas City, with a road game on either Sept. 3 or 4.
Gold Package: This year's Gold Package games will include the Packers' Monday night game against the Atlanta Falcons on Oct. 5, their Sunday night game against the Chicago Bears on Nov. 29, and their second preseason game against the Browns (Aug. 20-24).
