GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) \u2014 Clayton Tune will start at quarterback for Green Bay in its regular-season finale Sunday at Minnesota with the Packers intending to rest Jordan Love as he prepares for the playoffs.<\/p>\n
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Love has cleared concussion protocol<\/a>, but isn\u2019t expected to play against the Vikings (8-8). Green Bay (9-6-1) already is locked into the NFC\u2019s No. 7 playoff seed,<\/a> so Sunday\u2019s game has no postseason implications.<\/p>\n Love hasn\u2019t played since taking a helmet-to-helmet hit in the second quarter of a 22-16 overtime loss<\/a> at Chicago on Dec. 20.<\/p>\n Malik Willis<\/a> played the rest of the Bears game and started the Packers\u2019 41-24 loss<\/a> to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, but he\u2019s dealing with injuries to his shoulder and hamstring. Love practiced fully and Willis was limited in Wednesday\u2019s practice.<\/p>\n The Packers also signed Desmond Ridder<\/a> to their practice squad on Wednesday, giving them one more option. LaFleur said there\u2019s a possibility Ridder could be active for Sunday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n \u201cClayton Tune\u2019s going to start, and then as far as the backup, we\u2019re kind of working through that process right now,\u201d LaFleur said. \u201cMalik\u2019s dealing with a hamstring. Obviously just got Desmond Ridder in here. We\u2019re kind of taking it a day at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n Tune signed with Green Bay\u2019s practice squad before the season. The Packers signed Tune from their practice squad to their active roster Wednesday.<\/p>\n \u201cI think he\u2019s a guy that\u2019s shown some pretty good promise in terms of what we\u2019ve seen,\u201d LaFleur said. \u201cWhat an opportunity for him.\u201d<\/p>\n Tune, 26, entered the Ravens game in the fourth quarter and went 1 of 4 for 8 yards with an interception. He appeared in 13 games and made one start with the Arizona Cardinals, who selected him out of Houston in the fifth round of the 2023 draft.<\/p>\n He has gone 15 of 27 for 78 yards with three interceptions and no touchdowns. In his lone previous start, he was sacked seven times as the Cardinals gained just 58 total yards in 27-0 loss<\/a> to the Cleveland Browns on Nov. 5, 2023.<\/p>\n LaFleur also said newly acquired cornerback Trevon Diggs<\/a> \u201cpotentially\u201d could play against the Vikings. The Packers claimed Diggs off waivers from the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday.<\/p>\n ___<\/p>\n
