He I won’t call him a rematch. Either way, Malik Willis is expected to face the team that drafted and traded him on Sunday.
According to multiple reports, the former Titans quarterback is expected to start for the Packers in the Week 3 game in Nashville.
That said, Green Bay starter Jordan Love, who suffered a medial collateral ligament sprain 15 days ago, has not been ruled out.
The information is not definitive, with “probable” being the key term used by ESPN and NFL Media. That means there is a chance the Packers surprise everyone and select Love.
PFT reported after Love’s MRI that he was expected to return in Week 4, Week 5 or Week 6. That’s a much better timeline than what might have been expected when he suffered his injury on the season-opening Friday night against the Eagles in Brazil.
Willis, a 2022 third-round pick of the Titans, won the Week 2 game against the Colts. He started three games as a rookie for the Titans, winning one. He appeared in three games for Tennessee last season.
