The Green Bay Packers are facing a tough Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts without quarterback Jordan Love, who is out for at least this week due to the knee injury he suffered in the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Malik Willis will make his team debut as the starter against Indy, and one of his top weapons is listed as questionable for the game, which certainly wouldn’t make the quest to avoiding an 0-2 start any easier.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport shared that wide receiver Jayden Reed is listed as questionable with a calf and shin injury, though he is expected to play on Sunday.

Reed led the NFL in receiving yards in Week 1 and was a late addition to the injury report after suffering an injury in practice.
Reed’s five touches in Week 1 led to 171 total yards and a pair of touchdowns and led the team in catches and total touchdowns last season.
Willis needs all the help he can get as the starter given what fans saw of him during his time with the Tennessee Titans over the past two years.
The third-year QB out of Liberty has three career starts under his belt so far and has seen action in 12 games, and he has yet to throw a touchdown and has just one TD on the ground.
Green Bay needs Reed on Sunday to make Willis’ transition to a starting role as easy as possible, but luckily all signs are pointing to him suiting up.
