He gave a clue early Saturday that he was taking the field against Washington; Aaron Rodgers backed up his Instagramed words by giving his first appearance of preseason.

Aaron Rodgers played the first series of Saturday night's Packers preseason game, the second of 2017.

He first gave word in his ticket giveaway posting on Instagram...check out the hashtag...

Ok, so the place I went to to hide these didn't work out. Need to find a home for these 4. So...I'm going to give these out to the first picture I see of a group of at least 3 people wearing jerseys, whose numbers add up to 100 exactly. Example: @dbak69 (69) + @bretthundley17 (7) + @rcobb18 (18) + Favre (4) + Crosby (2). Has to be at least 3 jerseys. If you get 100, include the name you wish to have the tickets under at will call. Enjoy! #rodgerstickethunt #preseason #implayingtonight #denvernextweek #

After giving out the tickets, 620 WTMJ Packers radio voice Wayne Larrivee confirmed his appearance during Packers Gameday.

His one drive of action: Pretty good. 6-8, 47 yards, 1 TD pass, 15 yards rushing.

Even in preseason, it's Mr. Rodgers neighborhood. #Packers up 7-3 on TD to newcomer Martellus Bennett. https://t.co/rKCDDFvJnj pic.twitter.com/TxyTo2Al7Q
