Just weeks after trading quarterback Malik Willis to the Green Bay PackersThe Tennessee Titans are set to face their former third-round pick in a few weeks after Packers starter Jordan Love suffered a knee injury that will sideline him for several games.
According to NFL Network’s Tom PelisseroLove is dealing with an ACL injury that could keep him out for three to six weeks. The Titans will face the Packers in Nashville in Week 3.
Willis is the only healthy quarterback on the Packers’ 53-man roster, and while the team will likely add another, the Liberty product is expected to be the starter for now. Green Bay also has Sean Clifford on the practice squad.
Willis entered the Week 1 game against the Philadelphia Eagles late in the fourth quarter, but he saw only a few plays. Willis threw an incomplete pass and was tackled on the game’s final down.
The next game against the Packers could get even more interesting if Green Bay decides to bring in veteran quarterback Ryan Tannehill, which is certainly possible if the Packers don’t think Willis can keep them afloat.
Tannehill remains available on the open market but said he would play in 2024 if the situation presents itself.
“Right now, I think it’s going to depend on the situation,” Tannehill said in July. “At this point, I’ve been fortunate enough to play 12 years and be where I am, so I’m not going to keep adding years after years. I want to be in a situation that I really enjoy. I’m not ruling anything out, but it’s going to have to be the right situation for me and my family.”
The Packers would offer a good opportunity to the veteran quarterback, and for the sake of a great story, we’d like to see Green Bay bring him in. Either way, Week 3 just got a lot more interesting for the Titans.
