Packers Add Desmond Ridder to Practice Squad as QB Injuries Cloud Week 18

Green Bay, locked into the NFC No. 7 seed, is prioritizing health for the finale.

  • Jordan Love remains in the NFL concussion protocol and will practice on a limited basis, according to Matt LaFleur.
  • Malik Willis continues to manage a right shoulder injury and is slated for limited work in practice.
