Estados Unidos Update:

Jordan Love has been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, a significant development for the Green Bay Packers as they navigate the final stretch of the regular season.

Why isn’t Jordan Love playing against the Ravens?

The Packers confirmed that Love will not play due to the NFL’s concussion protocol. Backup quarterback Malik Willis is set to start at Lambeau Field in one of the weekend’s most anticipated interconference matchups.

Love suffered a concussion during Green Bay’s Week 16 loss to the Chicago Bears. He took a helmet-to-helmet hit while being sacked and was unable to continue, forcing Willis to finish the game under center.

What’s at stake for Green Bay against Baltimore?

The injury has sidelined Love at a critical moment. Although the Packers have already clinched a playoff berth, they remain very much in the hunt for the NFC North title after the Detroit Lions’ recent loss. Losing their starting quarterback complicates that push, especially against a high-caliber opponent.

Saturday’s game carries added weight for the Packers, who are still jockeying for position atop the division and for potential home-field advantages in the postseason. Willis now faces the challenge of guiding a playoff-bound team against one of the AFC’s most physical defenses, in front of a packed Lambeau Field crowd.

Lamar Jackson may also miss Ravens vs Packers

Baltimore arrives in Green Bay with its own quarterback concerns. Star QB Lamar Jackson is questionable due to a back injury, and the Ravens are preparing as if Tyler Huntley will get the start.

With both teams potentially turning to backup quarterbacks, the matchup takes on an unexpected twist. What was once billed as a showdown between two star passers now looks like a test of depth, preparation, and resilience for franchises with Super Bowl aspirations.
