Packers Rest Cleared Jordan Love as Clayton Tune Starts Finale vs. Vikings

With the No. 7 seed secured, Green Bay is preserving its starter for the playoffs.

Overview

  • Head coach Matt LaFleur said Jordan Love cleared concussion protocol and is not expected to play, with possible activation only as an emergency option.
  • Clayton Tune will start Sunday in Minneapolis after being elevated to the active roster earlier in the week.
  • Malik Willis is limited by right shoulder and hamstring injuries, leaving the backup decision for Week 18 unresolved.
  • Desmond Ridder was added to the practice squad and could potentially serve as Tune’s No. 2 quarterback.
  • The Packers will open the Wild Card round on the road against either the Bears or the Eagles, depending on Week 18 results elsewhere.
