In a stunning turn of events in the NFL, it appears that Jordan Love will need more time to recover from his injury, giving Malik Willis the opportunity to shine against his former team, the Tennessee Titans.
According to NFL Network Insiders Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport, sources have confirmed that Love will sit out the upcoming game against the Titans on Sunday. The earliest possible return for Love could be in Week 4 against the Vikings, as reported by Rapoport.
Love sustained a sprained MCL during the Packers’ Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil, which initially raised concerns about the length of his absence. Initially projected to be out for three to six weeks, it seems that Love will be sidelined for at least two weeks, following consecutive weeks of being listed as questionable.
With Love on the sidelines, the spotlight now shifts to Willis, who has the chance to face the team that originally drafted him. Despite the potential for a revenge narrative, Willis remained focused on the task at hand in his preparation for the game against Tennessee.
In Week 2, Willis led the Packers to a victory over the Indianapolis Colts in a remarkable display of skill and determination. What makes this achievement even more impressive is the fact that Willis was traded to Green Bay from the Titans just a few weeks before assuming the starting quarterback role.
As the drama continues to unfold in the NFL, all eyes will be on the matchup between Willis and the Titans, as he looks to make a statement against his former team in a game filled with intrigue and anticipation.
