Packers Rule Out Jordan Love, Malik Willis Expected to Start vs. Ravens as Lamar Jackson Doubtful

Backup quarterbacks are poised to decide a matchup that could end Baltimore's season.

Overview

  • Green Bay confirmed Jordan Love will miss Week 17 with a concussion, and Malik Willis is expected to start despite a questionable tag from a throwing-shoulder issue and recent illness.
  • The Packers did not add a quarterback this week, leaving Clayton Tune as the only other option in-house to back up Willis if elevated.
  • Baltimore listed Lamar Jackson as doubtful with a back contusion, making Tyler Huntley the likely starter for the Ravens.
  • Willis impressed in relief last week by going 9-of-11 for 121 yards and a touchdown, and this would mark his sixth career start after winning two starts for Green Bay in 2024.
  • The Packers have clinched a playoff berth but need a win to keep NFC North hopes alive, while multiple outlets note the Ravens would be eliminated from postseason contention with a loss; ESPN reporting says several teams are tracking Willis ahead of 2026 free agency.
