In what was supposed to be a thrilling matchup between two dynamic quarterbacks, Anthony Richardson and the Colts (0-1) were set to face off against Jordan Love and the Packers (0-1) at Lambeau Field. However, it seems like this storyline may have hit a roadblock as Love suffered a knee injury late in the opener against the Eagles in Brazil, making his availability for the game against the Colts uncertain at best. If Love is unable to play, rookie quarterback Malik Willis will step in to lead the Packers’ offense. Willis, a third-round pick out of Liberty, is in his first season with Green Bay after spending his first two seasons in Tennessee.
The Colts are coming off a disappointing 29-7 loss to Houston in which Anthony Richardson struggled, completing just 9 passes for 212 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. Despite his passing woes, Richardson managed to rush for 56 yards on 6 carries, while running back Jonathan Taylor added 48 yards on 16 carries.
On the other side, the Packers suffered a close 34-29 defeat to the Eagles in Brazil. With uncertainty surrounding Jordan Love’s status, it remains to be seen how the Packers’ offense will perform, but veteran running back Josh Jacobs is expected to play a key role. Jacobs, who signed with Green Bay in the offseason, had 16 carries for 84 yards and 2 receptions for 20 yards in the opener.
