Packers QB Malik Willis aggravates shoulder injury, exits vs. Ravens
Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis aggravated a right shoulder injury on a completion to Christian Watson and exited Saturday's showdown with the Baltimore Ravens in the fourth quarter.
Willis appeared to be in significant discomfort after throwing the pass. He was not hit on the play.
Backup Clayton Tune, who was elevated from the practice squad, entered the game and immediately threw an interception on his first pass attempt as Willis exited the field with trainers. The throw was intended for Bo Melton, who dropped the pass, and Marlon Humphrey intercepted the deflected pass.
The Packers listed Willis as questionable to return, but he came logging out of the tunnel minutes later and rejoined the team on the sideline.
Before the injury, Willis completed 18 of 21 passes for 288 yards and a touchdown and rushed nine times for 60 yards and two more scores. The Packers trailed 34-24 at the time of the injury, but Willis had the Packers on the march to a score that could have cut the lead late.
