He also sat out two contests with a knee injury in 2024.After Willis' departure, the Packers faced an uncertain outlook for depth at the position, with Desmond Ridder, Kyle McCord and undrafted free agent Kyron Drones the standing options after April's NFL draft.“I’m excited about the competition in that room, and we’ll see
