The Green Bay Packers are ruling out quarterback Jordan Love for Saturday's game against the Baltimore Ravens due to his concussion, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Friday.
The team has since announced the news.
Malik Willis is expected to start in Love's place.
Both Love and Willis (shoulder/illness) were listed as questionable to play on Green Bay's initial injury report on Thursday. Love remains in concussion protocol and will miss the Week 17 game.
Green Bay clinched a playoff spot Thursday by virtue of Detroit's loss to Minnesota. A loss to Baltimore on Saturday would secure the NFC North title for the Chicago Bears.
Willis won't be the only backup quarterback to see action in Saturday's critical Week 17 game. Tyler Huntley is slated to start for the Ravens in place of Lamar Jackson, who's doubtful with a back contusion.
Love was concussed during the Packers' Week 16 defeat to the Bears and was subsequently placed in the league protocol. Love, who is also dealing with a left shoulder issue, returned to the practice field on Tuesday and was limited throughout the week.
Through 15 starts this season, Love has completed 66.3% of his passes for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions.
Willis replaced Love under center in the aforementioned loss but hurt his right shoulder at the end of regulation.
The Packers (9-5-1) host the Ravens (7-8) at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday.
