The Green Bay Packers starting quarterback position was in question throughout the week as regular starter Jordan Love returned to practice, and the team took all the way until Saturday night to make a definitive decision.
In the end, the coaching staff chose to play it safe and keep Love out as he continues to heal from a sprained MCL sustained in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported the Packers’ choice to go with backup quarterback Malik Willis against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3 via a social media post.
“The #Packers haven’t ruled out QB Jordan Love, but Malik Willis is expected to get his second start Sunday at Tennessee, sources tell me and [Ian Rapoport],” Pelissero wrote on X. “Love (MCL sprain) was at practice all week and is getting closer. But it most likely will be at least another week.”
Willis started the Packers’ home opener against the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday, which Green Bay won by a score of 16-10.
