Packers won’t place Love on IR as Willis prepares to start Sunday’s game against the Colts

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur says the team doesn’t plan to put Jordan Love on injured reserve, an indication the quarterback could return relatively soon. Although the MCL injury is expected to sideline Love for multiple games, LaFleur said Monday the Packers would start Malik Willis with Sean Clifford as the backup “if Jordan’s not cleared.” “I couldn’t give you a percentage, but if he gets cleared, we’ll give him every opportunity like we always will,” LaFleur said Monday. “He said obviously he was in pain, but I wasn’t even going to go there in my mind until I knew one way or the other, and thankfully we got some relatively good news.” Willis had played the final two snaps of the Eagles game after Love’s departure. LaFleur said the Packers didn’t seriously consider signing another quarterback after Love’s injury.
