Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love suffered a knee sprain in the team’s season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday and the quarterback is now expected to miss “about three weeks.”
The Packers still haven’t announced who will start while Love is sidelined. Their two options are Malik Willis (who has three career starts on his resume) and Sean Clifford, who threw just one pass as a rookie last fall.
A third option would be bringing in an outside quarterback.
The Denver Broncos have a pair of potential trade candidates in Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson.
Stidham (28) has only started four games in his career, but he’s a veteran who has been in the NFL since 2019. He is currently listed as the No. 2 quarterback on Denver’s depth chart behind starter Bo Nix. Stidham rushed for a touchdown against the Packers in Week 2 of preseason.
Wilson (25) is a former second overall pick with 33 career starts. The Broncos have consistently praised Wilson this summer despite his QB3 status. Wilson threw a touchdown pass against Green Bay in preseason.
The Broncos sent a sixth-round draft pick to the New York Jets in exchange for Wilson and a seventh-round pick in April. Perhaps general manager George Paton could talk the Packers into a fifth-round pick for Wilson?
There have been no reports thus far that Green Bay is planning to bring in an outside QB, but the Packers should consider giving Denver a call.
