Green Bay is set for an intriguing matchup this Sunday as the Packers prepare to face off against the Tennessee Titans. However, the spotlight will be on Malik Willis, who will step in as the starting quarterback for Green Bay once again. This comes after Jordan Love was ruled out due to a knee sprain, which is expected to keep him sidelined for at least another week, according to various sources.
Love, who sprained his MCL in the Packers’ Week 1 loss against the Eagles, has been listed as questionable for this week’s game. His recovery has been slower than anticipated, making this his second missed game of the season. While he might be on track to return in Week 4 against the Vikings, the team appears to be exercising caution.
Nonetheless, this opens the door for Malik Willis, who is coming off a strong performance as the starting QB in the previous week. He threw for 122 yards and even scored his first NFL touchdown while leading the Packers to a victory over the Colts. Willis will now face the team that drafted him, adding an interesting narrative to the game. Despite the backstory, Willis has downplayed any sense of revenge against the Titans.
The Packers enter this game with a record of 1-1, while the Titans are struggling at 0-2. The focus will likely shift to the Packers’ running game, especially after rushing the ball 53 times last week. Packers running back Josh Jacobs expressed confidence that they could keep that strategy going against the Titans’ defense.
In other injury news, Tee Higgins of the Bengals is off the injury report and will be playing against the Washington Commanders on “Monday Night Football.” However, Jets RT Morgan Moses is expected to miss two to four weeks due to a sprained MCL and a bone bruise from the win against the Patriots.
As the league gears up for a busy Sunday, fans in Green Bay will be watching closely, hoping for another standout performance from Willis. The game kicks off at 1 p.m. ET.
