Whoever scheduled a practice against another team 2 days after a preseason game needs to get a lap.
This is the starters preseason game basically. Both McCarthy and McVay mentioned this. They both plan to rest all their starters week 1 of the preseason and have them play a situational scrimmage instead. Emphasis will be on the starters, we’ll see a lot less of the 3rd/4th stringers.

Here’s McVay on it:

McVay shared a little bit about what he hopes to get out of Saturday’s session, saying it’ll essentially be a substitute for a preseason game for the team’s starters, who are expected to sit out the preseason.

“We’ll implement a lot of different situations. Coach (Mike) McCarthy has been great about putting together a good practice plan that’s going to be reflective of us getting a lot of work. And it will be focused on a lot of our top guys,” McVay said Wednesday. “We kind of look at it as in a lot of instances, these practices kind of serve as supplemental or substitutes, if you will, for the preseason games because of the approach we take. It’ll be a lot of different things and good competitive work trying to keep our guys safe but also get a chance to go against somebody else – different defensive scheme, different offensive scheme. Get a chance to go against ‘Bones’ (John Fassel) and the things he does in the kicking game, so that’ll be fun.”

The things 'Bones does in the kicking game? They will be too busy laughing to play hard.

Maybe we'll have four players retire over it.

Bones should run all onside kicks and fake punts, except not using the kicker or the punter.

Well, with as many players as we held out or barely played of the HOF game, we could get decent work in.

McVay sounds like he is playing for keeps.
