Malik Willis is the “likely” starter for Green Bay, against the Titans

He won’t mention it a revenge match. Either way, Malik Willis is expected to face the team that drafted and then traded him on Sunday.

The former Titans quarterback is expected to start for the Packers in their Week 3 game in Nashville, according to multiple sources.

That said, Green Bay starter Jordan Love, who suffered an MCL sprain 15 days ago, has not been ruled out.

The reporting isn’t definitive, with “likely” being the working term from both ESPN and NFL Media. That means there’s a chance the Packers could surprise everyone and go for Love.

PFT reported after Love’s MRI that he was expected to return in Week 4, Week 5 or Week 6. That’s a much better timeline than anyone could have expected when he suffered the injury on season opening night, Friday night against the Eagles in Brazil.

Willis, a 2022 third-round pick of the Titans, won the Week 2 game against the Colts. He started three games as a rookie for the Titans, winning one. He appeared in three games for Tennessee last season.
