GREEN BAY, Wisc. — Packers hit the practice field Wednesday, as they prepare for the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Head Coach Matt LaFleur is preparing Malik Willis to start on Sunday if Jordan Love is not cleared to play.
Willis took all of the first-team snaps with Jordan Love not practicing. LaFleur is going to keep the plays that Willis likes in the game plan and throw out the ones he doesn't like.
“It just takes practice,” receiver Dontayvion Wicks said. “We get a lot of reps in practice. We’re getting it in with the chemistry and trust. It’s just about him stepping it up now. We all believe in him and we’re going to go out and do it.”

“In this league, it’s always next man up,” Jayden Reed said. “Just to be prepared and ready. I know Malik is working as hard as he can to be ready for whatever is thrown at him.”
The Packers have won 13 straight home openers since 2013.
