Malik Willis Prepares for Another Likely Start as Packers’ Quarterback Amid Love’s Recovery

Quarterback Malik Willis Anticipated to Lead Packers in Upcoming Game

On the verge of another NFL Sunday, sources are hinting at Malik Willis being the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers as they face his former team, the Tennessee Titans. This prediction comes from insider information.

Jordan Love’s Recovery Progress

Jordan Love, the Packers’ usual quarterback, is on the mend after an MCL sprain in his left knee, an injury he sustained during the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 6. His participation in the upcoming game in Nashville remains uncertain. However, despite the Packers’ attempts to keep their quarterback choices under wraps until kickoff, evidence suggests that Willis might be the one taking the field against the Titans.

Malik Willis’ Recent Performance and Outlook

The Packers brought Willis on board in a late August trade with Tennessee. With Love’s absence, Willis stepped in during the recent 16-10 triumph over the Indianapolis Colts, where he successfully completed 12 out of 14 passes, securing 122 yards and a touchdown. When asked about the upcoming match against his former team, Willis dismissed it as a revenge game.

Having started three games for Tennessee with a 1-2 record, Willis responded, “No, I could care less, man. I was paid during my entire tenure there. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunities that were provided to me. The Titans brought me into this league, irrespective of the current team composition. They took a chance on me… They treated me well.”

Love’s Return: A Possibility in Week 4 Game?

Meanwhile, Love participated in all practices this past week, albeit in a limited capacity. Packers’ Coach Matt LaFleur stated on Friday that the team would wait until 90 minutes before Sunday’s kickoff, if necessary, before declaring inactives.

With Willis likely to lead the Packers this Sunday, all eyes are now turning towards their Week 4 game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 29, speculated as Love’s potential return. In a recent development, the Packers have elevated QB Sean Clifford from the practice squad for the second consecutive week.
