"Backup quarterback Malik Willis, who started because Jordan Love did not clear concussion protocol, had to leave in the midst of his finest performance as a pro because his ailing right shoulder acted up in the fourth quarter. Willis could have returned to the game after a brief locker-room checkup, but by then, the 41-24 loss had been decided."
"It left Green Bay with a decision to make about how to handle next weekend's regular-season finale against the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers already secured their playoff spot and cannot improve their position -- they were locked into the NFC's No. 7 seed as soon as they lost to the Ravens -- and coach Matt LaFleur was noncommittal about how he would approach Week 18."
Backup quarterback Malik Willis started because Jordan Love did not clear concussion protocol and left late with a right-shoulder issue despite his best pro performance. Willis could have returned after a brief locker-room check, but the 41-24 loss to the Baltimore Ravens had been decided. Derrick Henry rushed for 216 yards as part of a 307-yard Ravens ground game at Lambeau Field. The Packers are locked into the NFC's No. 7 seed and cannot improve their playoff position. Coach Matt LaFleur remained noncommittal about Week 18, weighing rest and health against seeking momentum after three straight losses. Love must complete concussion protocol to be considered.
