Back from Brazil following a 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Packers (0-1) are preparing for the home opener against the Indianapolis Colts (0-1) Sunday at Lambeau Field.
With Jordan Love likely sidelined multiple weeks with a knee injury, the Packers are preparing recently acquired Quarterback, Malik Willis to make his first start as a member of the team. The Tennessee Titans traded Willis to the Packers in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round draft pick on August 26th.
In three career starts for the Titans, Willis completed just 52% of his passes for 350 yards, zero touchdowns and 3 interceptions. Willis split his college career playing his first two seasons at Auburn and his final two seasons at Liberty amassing 5,176 yards passing and 2,131 yards rushing.
A guest on Wisconsin’s Midday News, ESPN-Wisconsin’s Jason Wilde weighed in on Willis’ preparation, when Love might return, and why the Packers are not interested in bringing in a veteran free agent quarterback…yet.
