As Week 3 of the NFL continues, the Green Bay Packers will attempt to break their current 1-1 record by facing the struggling Tennessee Titans. However, the absence of their star QB Jordan Love has been confirmed. In light of this situation, head coach Matt LaFleur and the management made a decision regarding the matter.
ESPN reporter Adam Schefter reported: “Packers elevated QB Sean Clifford from their practice squad to their active roster for Sunday’s game at Tennessee,”
With the confirmation that Jordan Love will not play for the second consecutive time, Malik Willis will start the game against Titans as the starting quarterback for the Packers.
Coached by Matt LaFleur, the team is aiming for their second consecutive win after starting on the wrong foot with a tough loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, 34-29. In their second game, with Willis as the starter, they managed to defeat the Indianapolis Colts, 16-10.
Jordan Love’s injury
The Green Bay Packers‘ debut this NFL season was negative in every way. Not only did they suffer a loss in Brazil against the Eagles, but they also lost their star quarterback, Jordan Love, to injury.
Unfortunately for the Packers, Love suffered an MCL sprain. His initial prognosis was 3-4 weeks, but recent reports indicate that his recovery is progressing well and suggest the possibility of him returning sooner.
What’s next for the Green Bay Packers?
With the primary goal of securing their second consecutive victory and getting back on track this season, Matt LaFleur’s team will face a series of matchups following the Titans to aim for as many wins as possible:
- vs Minnesota Vikings, Week 4
- vs Los Angeles Rams, Week 5
- vs Arizona Cardinals, Week 6
- vs Houston Texans, Week 7
- vs Jacksonville Jaguars, Week 8
