GREEN BAY, Wis. — Jordan Love isn't the only Green Bay Packers quarterback dealing with an uncertain status coming out of Saturday's overtime loss to the Chicago Bears.

Backup Malik Willis, who took over in the second quarter after Love sustained a concussion, injured his right shoulder late in the game. He appeared to get hurt on the final play of regulation when Chicago's Montez Sweat sacked him.

LaFleur said Sunday that both quarterbacks would have to be monitored throughout the week. Love remains in the concussion protocol.
