Packers–Ravens Primetime Recast by QB Injuries: Love Out, Jackson Doubtful

Baltimore’s season hangs in the balance with Green Bay already in the playoffs.

Overview

  • Green Bay ruled Jordan Love out on Friday, and Malik Willis is expected to start despite a shoulder issue and illness, with Clayton Tune positioned as the backup.
  • Lamar Jackson is listed as doubtful after not practicing with a back contusion, making Tyler Huntley the likely starter if Jackson is inactive, with final status due at the inactives release.
  • A Ravens loss would eliminate Baltimore, and even with a win the team needs a Steelers loss on Sunday to stay alive; the Packers have clinched and are still chasing the NFC North.
  • Sportsbooks have shifted to Green Bay as a small favorite (roughly -3 to -4.5) with a low total near 38–40 points, and one simulation model gives the Packers about a 64% win probability.
  • Analyst Mina Kimes cautioned that Willis has shown real growth in Green Bay and shouldn’t be overlooked; he went 9-of-11 for 121 yards and a touchdown in relief last week.
