CANTON, Ohio (AP) -- Someday, Brett Favre will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Until then, he'll settle for playing across the street.
Favre, a three-time NFL MVP, is expected to take fewer than 15 snaps Monday night when the Packers open their exhibition season against the Kansas City Chiefs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game.
The matchup of the two teams from Super Bowl I caps a weekend of festivities highlighted by Sunday's induction, when former Chiefs head coach Hank Stram, running back Marcus Allen and Packers wide receiver James Lofton were enshrined along with Elvin Bethea and Joe DeLamielleure.
With four offensive starters -- both tackles and two wide receivers -- sidelined by injuries, the Packers do not want to take any chances of Favre getting hurt and will limit his time on the field to two or three series with the first-team offense.
"We will not do anything to get him hit," Packers offensive coordinator Tom Rossley said. "We will not expose him."
