With Jordan Love likely sidelined due to an MCL sprain, Malik Willis is poised to take the reins as the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers in their upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts. Coach Matt LaFleur has indicated that Willis will lead the offense if Love is not cleared to play, which seems probable given the expected recovery timeline of three to six weeks. This situation may lead to a more run-heavy offensive strategy as Willis acclimates to his new team.

- Jordan Love is expected to miss 3-6 weeks due to an MCL sprain.
