While Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur wouldn’t rule out Jordan Love from playing against the Colts on Sunday, the team is moving forward with Malik Willis rather than Sean Clifford.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – While Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur wouldn’t totally close the door on Jordan Love playing against the Indianapolis Colts, Malik Willis figures to get the start on Sunday at Lambeau Field.
“Because Malik’s on the roster and he’s our No. 2 quarterback and that’s the way we’re going to roll,” LaFleur said. To be sure, Willis won’t have full command of the offense. On Sunday, he will have been with the team for 20 days. However, Willis is only 6-foot 1/2, so there will have be at least some tinkering to give him clear passing windows. And, of course, there will be plays that Love likes that Willis might not necessarily be comfortable running, and plays Willis really likes that might not be staples for Love.
“Whether that’s moving launch points or straight dropback, whatever it may be, we always carry play-actions every week, so we’ll come up with whatever we feel like is going to give us the best possible opportunity to move the football.”
