Packers Rule Out Jordan Love as Malik Willis Is Expected to Start vs. Ravens

Baltimore is set to start Tyler Huntley with Lamar Jackson doubtful, sharpening the playoff stakes for Saturday night.

Overview

  • Green Bay announced Jordan Love will miss Week 17 with a concussion sustained on a helmet-to-helmet hit that drew a roughing call in Chicago.
  • Malik Willis is expected to start despite a throwing-shoulder issue and a recent illness after practicing in a limited capacity this week.
  • The Packers are likely to elevate practice-squad quarterback Clayton Tune to serve as Willis’ backup for the primetime game at Lambeau Field.
  • The Ravens plan to go with Tyler Huntley as Lamar Jackson is listed doubtful with a back contusion, setting up a matchup of backup quarterbacks.
  • Green Bay has clinched a playoff berth but needs a win to stay in the NFC North race, while a Packers loss would hand the division to the Bears and Baltimore must win to keep postseason hopes alive.
