Packers QB Malik Willis (shoulder/illness) is expected to start in Week 17 against the Ravens.

26 December 2025

Willis has an injury in his throwing shoulder and is currently sick, but the Packers evidently feel good about his ability to play this weekend. The backup quarterback has completed 12-of-14 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns while rushing 13 times for 63 yards, appearing in three games this season. Earlier today, ESPN’s Dan Graziano said he believes “several [teams] have their eyes on” Willis as a “potential solution” at quarterback in 2026. Consider this an audition. He is officially questionable to play and can be treated as a viable QB2 starter, if active.
