Packers' QB Jordan Love downgraded to doubtful, Malik Willis expected to start vs. Colts

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, the team announced Saturday.

With Love likely out, Malik Willis is expected to take over as the starter for the 0-1 Packers. Sean Clifford has been elevated from the practice squad and will back up Willis.

Love will likely miss the Colts game after spraining the MCL in his left knee in Week 1's loss in Brazil to the the Philadelphia Eagles. According to media reports, his initial timetable to return was set at 3-6 weeks, but head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday "it's pretty open" regarding Love's Week 2 status, and on Friday the team listed him as questionable on its injury report.
