Packers won't put QB Jordan Love (knee) on IR - ESPN

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers do not plan to put quarterback Jordan Love on injured reserve, which means they think the recovery from his left knee injury will be on the shorter end of the timeline.

In the meantime, they will prepare the recently acquired Malik Willis to be their starting quarterback on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.

Green Bay traded a seventh-round draft pick to the Tennessee Titans for Willis the day before final roster cuts last month. If he starts Sunday's home opener at Lambeau Field, he will do so just 20 days after he joined the Packers.

Willis served as the backup in Friday's season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil and took the final two snaps — an incompletion and a sack — after Love sustained a sprained MCL in his left knee with 6 seconds left in the 34-29 loss.
