The Green Bay Packers will take on the Baltimore Ravens this week, with both teams facing questions at quarterback due to injuries. Lamar Jackson has yet to practice after suffering a back injury last week against the New England Patriots, while Packers quarterback Jordan Love is managing a concussion but was spotted at practice today, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

“Packers QB Jordan Love (concussion) limited for a second straight day, while backup Malik Willis (right shoulder/illness) did not participate,” the NFL insider wrote on a post on X (formerly Twitter).

Although Willis did not practice fully, he participated in a limited capacity earlier this week and is expected to play against the Ravens if Love is unavailable. When Love exited last week’s game against the Chicago Bears, Willis stepped in and helped keep the Packers competitive, even though the team ultimately fell on a wild overtime touchdown.

Jordan Love and the Packers in a desperate final push

Ideally, Love will be able to return for the Packers, especially as the regular season nears its end. The Packers are still battling to secure a playoff spot, and back-to-back wins would be crucial. First, they must focus on the Ravens, who are also competing for their division and a postseason berth.

The Packers have battled through numerous injuries this season but have managed to stay competitive and secure wins. Jordan Love’s performance has been a major factor, and he will be crucial for the team as they head into the postseason.
