Jordan Love has been limited at practice all week long for the Green Bay Packers as they prepare for Saturday’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The 27-year-old quarterback was forced to exit Green Bay’s last game — a 22-16 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 16 — due to a head injury. Love was not able to return and was later placed under the NFL’s concussion protocol.

Love finished the game with 8-of-13 completed passes for 77 yards, while adding 7 rushing yards on two carries. Backup QB Malik Willis checked into the game after Love's injury, and the 26-year-old was able to turn in a strong performance. Willis, however, also sustained an injury during in the overtime loss, potentially leaving the Packers without their top two quarterbacks for Saturday's game.

The Packers dropped to 9-5-1 after losing to the Bears, their bitter NFC North rivals, who remain atop the division with an 11-4 record. Green Bay has yet to secure a spot in the playoffs and will need to secure a win against the Ravens on Saturday to do so.

On Thursday, the Packers revealed Love’s status for the Ravens game. The former Utah State Aggies star is still under the protocol, but he has a chance to suit up against Baltimore. The team announced that Love is officially questionable to play in Saturday’s game.

“QBs Jordan Love and Malik Willis are both questionable for Saturday night,” the team posted on X.

It is worth noting that Willis, who was also a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a right shoulder injury and an illness, is also questionable to play. If Love and Willis are both unable to go, practice squad QB Clayton Tune could suddenly find himself starting under center on Saturday against Baltimore.

Likewise, the Ravens are dealing with injuries. Star quarterback Lamar Jackson is doubtful to play due to a back injury.

It's going to be a home game for the Packers on Saturday, with kick-off from Lambeau Field scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET.
