Malik Willis will start for the Packers against the Ravens

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love failed to clear the concussion protocols and was ruled from Saturday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Love suffered a concussion during the Bears’ loss last week and was listed questionable following a limited practice schedule all week. Malik Willis, the backup quarterback who is battling an illness and a shoulder injury, will replace him. Clayton Tune was elevated from the Packers’ practice squad to become the team’s No. 2.

Love’s absence creates a battle between Willis, the Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley and Lamar Jackson who will be starting in his place. Jackson, who took a knee in the back against the Patriots on Sunday night, was unable to practice this past week. He is listed with a doubtful status and will not be playing.

Willis performed well last week in Love’s absence. He completed eight of his eleven passes for 121 yard and a touchdown. In addition, Willis rushed 10 times for 44 yards, and had a fumble. Huntley, who has also stepped in when Jackson was injured, led the Ravens to victory over the Bears 30-16 and almost outlasted the Patriots Sunday night.

It would seem that defensive play is in store, if both teams are using backup quarterbacks. The field position is also a major factor. Special teams and turnovers could have a big impact.
