In the latest injury update for Saturday's pivotal Week 17 game at Lambeau Field—as previewed earlier—Green Bay has ruled out QB Jordan Love (concussion/shoulder), with Malik Willis (shoulder/illness, limited Thursday) set to start. Baltimore's Lamar Jackson remains doubtful (back), likely handing the start to Tyler Huntley amid playoff stakes for both.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Friday that Packers QB Jordan Love was downgraded from questionable to out for the 8 p.m. ET matchup against the Ravens, remaining in concussion protocol despite limited earlier practices. Love, in 15 starts, has posted a 66.3 completion rate, 3,381 yards, 23 TDs, and 6 INTs this season.
Backup Malik Willis, who entered last week's loss to Chicago after Love's injury, missed Wednesday practice but was limited Thursday amid right shoulder and illness issues. If cleared, the 26-year-old will make his first start of 2025 for the 9-5-1 Packers, who clinched playoffs but can clinch NFC North with a win (a loss hands it to Chicago).
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson sat out all week with a back contusion and is doubtful; Tyler Huntley is primed to start for the 7-8 visitors chasing an AFC North title and playoff spot. Green Bay is a 4.5-point favorite (total 39.5). Coach Matt LaFleur stressed adaptation: 'The team must adapt quickly to maintain their postseason positioning.'
This high-stakes backup QB battle highlights Week 17's injury impacts. See prior coverage in the Packers-Ravens Week 17 series for full preview, including Willis' background and team trends.
