The Green Bay Packers face a game of significant consequence this weekend agains the Baltimore Ravens, and there is a chance they'll have to play it without starting quarterback Jordan Love and backup QB Malik Willis.

Love suffered a concussion last Saturday, December 20 late in the second half of a deflating loss to the Chicago Bears. Willis entered the game in relief of Love and injured his right shoulder near the end of regulation.

Green Bay released its latest injury report on Christmas Day, providing mixed news on the statuses of both Love and Willis for Saturday's matchup against the Ravens, the last contest for the Packers at Lambeau Field during the 2025 regular season.

"Packers QBs Jordan Love and Malik Willis are both questionable for Saturday night, while Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is doubtful," Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported via X on Thursday afternoon.

Love remains in the NFL's mandatory concussion protocol but has been a limited participant in all three of the team's practices this week. Willis was a limited participant on Tuesday and Thursday, though he sat out Wednesday's practice session entirely. The Packers' official injury report lists Willis as dealing with both a right shoulder injury and an illness.

If neither Love or Willis is healthy enough to play against Baltimore, third-string quarterback Clayton Tune will get the nod. Tune has appeared in 13 games as a pro, though almost exclusively in garbage time. He has only one start and a total of 23 pass attempts on his resumé. Tune has completed 14 passes for 70 yards and two interceptions during his time in the NFL.

Green Bay is currently the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, with the Detroit Lions the only remaining threat to potentially knock the Packers out of the postseason picture.

The chances the Lions can do so, however, are nominal and would require Green Bay to lose both games to finish the season, while Detroit would have to win each of its last two contests. The Lions trailed the Minnesota Vikings by a score of 13-7 late in the third quarter during a Christmas Day game on Thursday night.

The Packers also remain alive for the NFC North Division crown, which would guarantee them a home game in Round 1 of the playoffs. To earn that spot, Green Bay must defeat the Ravens and Vikings in the final two contests of the year, while the Bears would need to lose to the San Francisco 49ers and Lions in Weeks 17 and 18, respectively.
