Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love took all of the team’s snaps with the first-team offense on Wednesday.
If Jordan Love’s concussion and Malik Willis’ right shoulder injury weren’t enough, the Green Bay Packers are now dealing with another factor in their quarterback room: Willis has an illness that caused him to miss Wednesday’s practice. Clayton Tune, Green Bay’s practice squad quarterback, had to take the backup quarterback reps in practice today. Receiver Christian Watson said after practice that Love took all the starter’s share of reps with the number one offense.
The good news is that Love was able to practice today, leaving just Willis and three others as non-participants. With Love still in the concussion protocol, though, Packers fans should keep an eye on the quarterback position up until gametime on Saturday. At this point, any of the three quarterbacks on the team could be under center against the Baltimore Ravens.
Packers’ Non-Participants
- QB Malik Willis (shoulder/illness)
- RT Zach Tom (knee)
- LB Kristian Welch (ankle)
- CB/WR Bo Melton (illness)
With Zach Tom being listed as a non-participant in back-to-back days, you can go ahead and assume that Jordan Morgan is going to be the team’s right tackle against the Baltimore Ravens. If Kristian Welch can’t go by Thursday, the Packers’ final practice of the week, assume that practice squad linebacker Jamon Johnson will be called up to the gameday roster to play some special teams, too.
Packers’ Limited Participants
- QB Jordan Love (shoulder/concussion)
- RB Josh Jacobs (knee/ankle)
- TE Josh Whyle (concussion)
- LG Aaron Banks (neck)
- C Sean Rhyan (knee)
- OL John Williams (back)
- DT Jordon Riley (ankle)
- DT Quinton Bohanna (illness)
- S Evan Williams (knee)
As far as participation changes go, besides Willis, Quinton Bohanna went from an estimated non-participant on Tuesday to a limited participant on Wednesday, while defensive ends Aaron Mosby and Lukas Van Ness went from estimated limited participants to full participants.
Tight end Josh Whyle remains in the concussion protocol, and it is going to be very tricky for the Packers to navigate. Without Whyle, Green Bay would only have one healthy tight end on the 53-man roster. Between the quarterback, tight end and linebacker situations, the team will need to pick and choose who they call up from the practice squad this week.
Baltimore Ravens Injury Report
The only player of note on the Ravens’ injury report is quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has missed back-to-back practices for Baltimore with a back contusion that he suffered on Sunday. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said it is “undetermined” whether Jackson will be able to play on Saturday.
If Jackson can’t go, it’ll be Tyler Huntley under center for Baltimore. With that being said, the Ravens are eliminated from the playoff race with another loss, so this could ultimately be a game-time decision.
