Packers quarterback Clayton Tune talks about starting vs. the Vikings<\/p>\n

Green Bay Packers quarterback Clayton Tune discusses the opportunity to start to close the regular season.<\/p>\n

The Green Bay Packers<\/a> will turn to Clayton Tune \u2013 essentially, their third-stringer \u2013 as their starting quarterback<\/a> in the regular-season finale against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Jan. 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With their playoff spot clinched<\/a> and their No. 7 seed in the NFC set, the Packers will be looking to get through the game as healthy as possible<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tune was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals<\/a> in the fifth round out of Houston in 2023. He was signed to the\u00a0Packers<\/a>\u00a0practice squad in late August, was elevated to the game-day roster Dec. 27 and was added to the 53-man roster Dec. 31.<\/p>\n

He played briefly in relief of Malik Willis in the Packers’ 41-24 loss to Baltimore<\/a> on Dec. 27, completing one of four passes for eight yards, with one pass going through receiver Bo Melton’s hands for an interception.<\/p>\n

Here’s more about the Packers’ quarterback situation for the Vikings<\/a> game:<\/p>\n

Is Jordan Love going to play? What’s Jordan Love’s injury status?<\/p>\n

Love, the Packers’ No. 1 quarterback, has cleared concussion protocol<\/a> after missing the Ravens<\/a> game, but coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday, Jan. 1, “The intent, I would say, is not to play him.”<\/p>\n

LaFleur said he’s leaving open the possibility of Love playing<\/a> if Tune were to get hurt.<\/p>\n

Love left the Packers\u2019 Dec. 20 loss in Chicago with a concussion<\/a> in the second quarter. He was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Dec. 31<\/a>, his first time practicing without limitations since the concussion.<\/p>\n

Is Malik Willis going to play? What’s Malik Willis’ injury status?<\/p>\n

Willis\u2019 status for the game is uncertain, LaFleur said. On the Packers’ injury report Thursday, Jan. 2, he’s listed as questionable because of shoulder and hamstring injuries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Willis, the Packers’ No. 2 quarterback, left the Ravens game<\/a> with the right shoulder injury midway through the fourth quarter after initially hurting it against the Bears<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What’s the Packers QB depth chart for the Vikings game? Who’s the Packers’ backup QB? Who’s the Packers’ third-string QB?<\/p>\n

With LaFleur saying it’s \u201cto be determined\u201d<\/a> who will back up Tune, the rest of the Packers’ depth chart at quarterback is up in the air.<\/p>\n

Besides Love and Willis, Green Bay also has veteran Desmond Ridder, signed this week to the practice squad<\/a>. He has been on the Vikings’ practice squad twice this season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If LaFleur doesn’t want Love or Willis to potentially play, Ridder could be elevated to the game-day roster as the backup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Packers quarterback Clayton Tune talks about starting vs. the Vikings Green Bay Packers quarterback Clayton…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":649975,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2072],"tags":[375,390,184,117,210,374,1327,692,391,35223,4659,321,8248,10206,1465,7,27,41,345,2514,2513,20842,1071,1724,3420,1325,478,4097,3787,3031,233,259,677,679,246,6,35196,245,264,428,169,1464,1468,12261,325,678,40092,234,1601,2537,2538,7952],"class_list":{"0":"post-649974","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-green-bay-packers","8":"tag-arizona","9":"tag-arizona-cardinals","10":"tag-baltimore","11":"tag-baltimore-ravens","12":"tag-bay","13":"tag-bears","14":"tag-cardinals","15":"tag-chicago","16":"tag-chicago-bears","17":"tag-clayton","18":"tag-clayton-tune","19":"tag-content","20":"tag-desmond","21":"tag-desmond-ridder","22":"tag-experiment","23":"tag-football","24":"tag-green","25":"tag-green-bay","26":"tag-green-bay-packers","27":"tag-greenbay","28":"tag-greenbaypackers","29":"tag-hub","30":"tag-jordan","31":"tag-jordan-love","32":"tag-lafleur","33":"tag-love","34":"tag-malik","35":"tag-malik-willis","36":"tag-matt","37":"tag-matt-lafleur","38":"tag-minnesota","39":"tag-minnesota-vikings","40":"tag-modular","41":"tag-modular-story","42":"tag-neutral","43":"tag-nfl","44":"tag-nfl-hub","45":"tag-overall","46":"tag-overall-neutral","47":"tag-packers","48":"tag-ravens","49":"tag-renews","50":"tag-renews-experiment","51":"tag-ridder","52":"tag-sharing","53":"tag-story","54":"tag-tune","55":"tag-vikings","56":"tag-wi","57":"tag-wi-content-sharing","58":"tag-wi-content-sharing-packers","59":"tag-willis"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=649974"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649974\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/649975"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=649974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=649974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=649974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
