The Green Bay Packers are set to start quarterback Malik Willis in their upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, as reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport. This decision comes as Jordan Love continues to recover from an MCL sprain, which he sustained during the Packers’ season opener.
Love was listed as questionable for this week’s contest as he works towards a return. The initial prognosis suggested that he could be sidelined for three to six weeks, but Love has surprised many by participating in practice as a limited participant throughout the week. He expressed optimism about his potential return, stating, “I’m hopeful that I can get to that point where I can get in there, but we’re just going to take it day by day.”
Despite his hopeful outlook, it appears Love will need at least one more week of rehabilitation before he can return to the lineup, possibly making his comeback against the Minnesota Vikings next week.
Malik Willis will be making his second consecutive start for the Packers after leading the team to a victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. This matchup holds special significance for Willis, as he will face off against the Titans for the first time since his trade to the Packers in August. The Liberty product has shown promise, and fans will be eager to see how he performs against his former team.
As the Packers prepare for this important game, all eyes will be on Willis to see if he can build on his previous success and help secure another win for Green Bay.
