In what could be a potential revenge game, Malik Willis is gearing up to face the team that drafted him and then traded him – the Titans. Despite not explicitly calling it a revenge game, Willis is surely looking to make a statement against his former team.
Reports indicate that Willis is expected to start for the Packers in their Week 3 matchup against the Titans in Nashville. However, there is a slight chance that Jordan Love, the Green Bay starter who has been dealing with an MCL sprain, could still get the nod.
The situation remains uncertain as reports from both ESPN and NFL Media only use the term “likely” when discussing Willis’ start. This means there is a possibility that Love could make a surprising return to the field.
Following Love’s MRI, it was initially projected that he would be back sometime between Week 4 and Week 6. This timeline comes as a relief considering the severity of his injury suffered in the season opener against the Eagles in Brazil.
Willis, a third-round pick by the Titans in 2022, has already shown promise with a win against the Colts in Week 2. He has previous experience starting for the Titans, winning one game in three starts as a rookie. Willis also made appearances in three games for Tennessee last season.
As the game approaches, all eyes will be on Willis and the quarterback situation for the Packers. Whether it’s Willis or Love under center, it’s sure to be an intriguing matchup between the Packers and the Titans. Stay tuned for more updates as game day approaches.
