According to Packers reporter Rob Demovsky, Love’s injury is minor, offering hope he may suit up for the upcoming game against the Detroit Lions if he can participate sufficiently in practice this week. If unable to play, the timing aligns favorably with the Packers’ bye in Week 10, suggesting any potential absence might be brief.</p><p>However, an unexpected silver lining has emerged in Love’s intermittent absences. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-malik-willis-in-for-jordan-love-after-suffering-groin-injury">Backup quarterback Malik Willis</a>, acquired in a trade just before the season commenced, has <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/story/_/id/42073292/nfl-week-9-buzz-news-updates-fantasy-tips-predictions-questions" rel="noopener">seized his opportunities to shine</a>. Willis’ performances, both earlier in the season and following Love’s recent injury exit, have notably impressed the Packers coaching staff.</p><p>“Packers coaches are blown away by what Willis has been able to do,” via Dan Graziano of ESPN. This commendation reflects Willis’ adeptness and underscores the guidance of head coach Matt LaFleur and offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich.</p><h2><b>Packers are happy with the performance of Malik Willis thus far</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Love-and-Willis.jpg"><figcaption>Steve Roberts-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Willis’ capability to step in seamlessly speaks volumes about his preparation and adaptability, traits that the Packers have historically valued in their quarterbacks. His play has been a testament to the robust coaching framework in Green Bay, which continues to develop quarterbacks who can perform under pressure, irrespective of their experience level.</p><p>His emergence equips the Packers with a few strategic offensive options. Willis’ ability to manage games effectively, combined with his athleticism, adds a dynamic layer to the Packers’ offense that could be leveraged even when Love returns to full health. This depth at the quarterback position is a luxury in the NFL and could be pivotal as the Packers navigate the latter part of the season and aim for a playoff push.</p><p>As the Packers approach their Week 10 bye, the focus will undoubtedly be on ensuring Love’s health, but also on integrating the lessons learned from Willis’s outings into their game plans. The potential for a dual-threat quarterback dynamic could pose challenges for opposing defenses, giving Green Bay a tactical edge.</p><p>While Jordan Love’s health remains a primary concern, Malik Willis’ commendable performances have not only provided the Packers with a reliable backup option but have also opened up new possibilities for the team’s offensive schemes.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Malik Willis has started under center for the last two games, but <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-jordan-love-jaire-alexander-officially-questionable-for-week-4">Jordan Love has an outside chance</a> of suiting up ahead of his initial timetable. Love is currently listed as questionable with a knee injury.</p><p>After losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1, the Packers have been forced to try and win games without their true offensive leader. They’ve done a fair job to this point, sitting at 2-1 as they prepare to swipe the NFC North’s top spot from the rival Vikings.</p><p>The Packers have gotten everything that they’ve needed out of Willis across two games. He’s seamlessly adapted to the offense, boasting the best passer rating (122.7) of his young career with 25 completions on 34 attempts for 324 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions.</p><p>Love, however, is the team’s clear starter. If he’s able to give it a go on Sunday, then the Packers need to play him. The connection between him and his receivers in the passing attack against the Eagles in Brazil looked too inviting, so how will the Packers move forward without thwarting their recent momentum? After getting a few limited practices in this week, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-jordan-love-practice-update-fans-hoping-week-4-return">Love’s status is wide open for the Vikings</a> game.</p><h2><b>Packers’ game plan for Malik Willis and Jordan Love in Week 4</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Malik-Willis-2.jpg"><figcaption>Andrew Nelles / The Tennessean / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Head coach Matt LaFleur looks like an expert at making adjustments thus far in the 2024-25 campaign. He’s been able to drum up creative ideas on how to maximize his talent, despite his squad’s early misfortune. It should be interesting to see if he can bring similar ideas to the table with his talented QBs.</p><p>To everyone’s surprise, the Packers have an unlikely, and ironic advantage against their Minnesota opponent in Week 4. Love is <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5800719/2024/09/28/nfl-week-4-jordan-love-injury-malik-willis-travis-kelce-problems-caleb-williams-bryce-young-comparisons/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=twhq&amp;source=twitterhq" rel="noopener">progressing faster than expected</a>, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic, but the goal was always to have him play in this crucial game against the Vikings. While Love won’t be at full health if he does hit the field on Sunday, LaFleur will still possibly use Willis in a package to keep the Vikings guessing.</p><p>As many NFL coordinators know, it’s hard enough to prepare for one quarterback all week – never mind a second.</p><p>Thanks to Willis’ rushing prowess, he may also find himself taking snaps in short-yardage scenarios.

Four weeks into being with the Packers, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-1-malik-willis-reason-for-optimism">Willis has already won two games</a> as Green Bay’s starting quarterback. In those two games, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-malik-willis-reacts-to-revenge-win-over-titans">Willis has stepped up</a> in the absence of Packers starting quarterback Jordan Love. Willis has more than exceeded expectations in an incredibly brief time. So much so that head coach Matt LaFleur <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/matt-lafleur-ive-never-seen-anything-like-what-malik-willis-has-done" rel="noopener">was at a loss for words</a> when discussing Willis’s impact.</p><p>“I just cannot articulate the job that he’s done in a short period of time,” said LaFleur. “People can’t fathom that. I promise you, you guys don’t get it. I know you think you got it, but you don’t get it. What he’s been able to do, I’ve never seen something like this.”</p><p>Willis, the Titans’ 2022 third-round pick they didn’t even want as their backup quarterback this season, completed 13-of-19 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown while running six times for 73 yards and a score. The loss was particularly humiliating for the Titans and their fans since the quarterback they traded for a seventh-round pick last month was a big reason why the Packers won so convincingly.</p><h2><b>How great has Malik Willis been for the Packers?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Malik-Willis-run-Packers-Titans.jpg"><figcaption>Andrew Nelles / The Tennessean / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Willis has proven he’s much more on the field than the failed project in Tennessee. In his first start against the Colts, Willis remained conservative with his arm save for one deep shot that wide receiver Romeo Doubs brilliantly snatched. Still, he showed promise with his legs and smoothly operated an offense with lengthy play calls, motions, and shifts.</p><p>Against the Titans, Willis showed that he can let it rip a little more. He uncorked a deep ball down the right sideline on the opening drive that Christian Watson hauled in for a 30-yard gain to set up Willis’ touchdown run on a keeper. He zipped completions to Romeo Doubs and Watson to convert third-and-14 and third-and-18, respectively. Willis ran even more against his old team, selling option plays beautifully and protecting the rock while being evasive.</p><p>“He made some big-time plays throughout the course of the game,” LaFleur said. “I think, obviously, some plays with his legs were huge and also plays in the passing game, some of those third down-and-longs to make some of those completions down the field.</p><p>“He’s getting the ball, he’s reading the plays the right way, he’s making some off-schedule plays with his legs that were very critical. … Hats off to him. Hats off to everybody around him, guys rallying, having his back. I think (quarterbacks coach) Tom Clements does a great job. And I’d be remiss to say (assistant quarterback coaches) Connor Lewis and Sean Mannion, just the help they’ve given him, the support. Jordan Love has been instrumental, as well, giving him tips, hanging right by his side, and helping him out all along the way.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
