Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol but will not start Sunday’s regular-season finale at Minnesota.
Head coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Clayton Tune will start against the Vikings. Love’s backup, Malik Willis, has been dealing with shoulder and hamstring injuries.
Tune, 26, has made one appearance this season, completing one pass for 8 yards with an interception in last week’s 41-24 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
He has appeared in 14 career games with one start in 2023 as a member of the Arizona Cardinals, who selected him in the fifth round of that year’s draft.
Tune has completed 55.6% (15 of 27) of his passes for 78 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions.
The Packers signed quarterback Desmond Ridder, formerly of the Atlanta Falcons and Las Vegas Raiders, to the practice squad on Wednesday.
The outcome of the game has no bearing on the playoff seeding for the Packers (9-6-1), who are locked in as the seventh seed in the NFC.
