Packers’ Zach Tom, Jordan Love Out Against Ravens
The Green Bay Packers face the Baltimore Ravens with significant player absences. Quarterback Jordan Love, who encountered a concussion in the previous match against the Chicago Bears, has been ruled out. In his place, Malik Willis will start despite battling a shoulder injury.
Packers’ Injury Report
Besides Love, right tackle Zach Tom will also miss the game, marking his second consecutive absence due to a knee injury sustained against the Denver Broncos. Jordan Morgan assumed the tackle responsibilities during last week’s game against the Bears.
Offensive Line Adjustments
- Zach Tom: Out due to knee injury.
- Jordan Morgan: Stepped in as right tackle.
The Packers’ offense retains key players, including running back Josh Jacobs, who was limited in practice this week due to knee and ankle injuries. However, he is expected to contribute against the Ravens.
Defensive Changes
On the defensive side, the Packers will welcome back safety Evan Williams. He returns after sitting out last week due to a sprained MCL, enhancing their secondary abilities against the Ravens’ offense.
Other Packers Inactives
- Defensive end Collin Oliver: Hamstring injury.
- Linebacker Kristian Welch: Ankle injury.
- Offensive lineman John Williams: IR/back.
- Receiver Savion Williams: Foot injury.
- Defensive linemen Nazir Stackhouse and Barryn Sorrell: Both inactive.
Ravens’ Inactives
The Ravens will be missing several key players as well, including quarterback Lamar Jackson, who is out due to a back contusion. His absence is crucial, as Jackson has been a significant factor for the Ravens’ offense.
Full Ravens Inactive List
- Lamar Jackson: Out (back contusion).
- Tylan Wallace: Wide receiver, injured.
- Keyon Martin: Cornerback, injured.
- Joseph Noteboom: Tackle, injured.
- Aeneas Peebles: Defensive tackle, injured.
As the Packers prepare for this pivotal matchup, the absence of both Love and Tom raises questions about their offensive strategy against a formidable Ravens defense.
