(LEARFIELD/WNFL) – Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur met with the media Monday and among other things stated that Malik Willis will be the Packers starting quarterback against the Indianapolis Colts unless Jordan Love is cleared to play.
Given that Willis has been with the Packers for a short time, why him instead of Sean Clifford who is more familiar with the offensive system?
Since LaFleur said that Love would not be going on injured reserve and could play if cleared, just what is the percentage that Jordan Love could play?
LaFleur added that Willis has been working hard.
Nah, we’re good: Despite rumblings that the Packers would reach out to sign another quarterback in light of Love’s injury (Hint: Ryan Tannehill), LaFleur said that the team wasn’t doing that.
LaFleur said that they are confident in Willis and Clifford.
And, by the way, LaFleur said they will not put Love at risk if he’s not healthy and ready to go.
Something good out of Brazil: Last week’s season-opening 34-29 loss to the Eagles wasn’t a good night for the defense, but one rookie stood out.
Pro Football Focus reports Edgerrin Cooper made his mark on the game while playing only 11 snaps.
Cooper had four tackles and one pass defense during that short time on the field.
He was limited because he is still recovering from a groin injury. PFF gave him the top defensive grade on the team.
Its analysts say Cooper can expect to be a starter soon and should apply consistent pressure from the edge.
