Who Should I Start? E.J. Perry or Malik Willis

Tuesday, December 19, 8:31 PM

With Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the league's concussion protocol this week, the team signed free-agent quarterback E.J. Perry to their practice squad on Tuesday, according to his agent. The Jaguars have only C.J. Beathard backing Lawrence up at the position, so Perry will give the Jags a little bit more insurance if Lawrence isn't cleared by doctors before their Week 16 contest versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The 25-year-old Perry has never appeared in an NFL game, but he has familiarity with Jacksonville's system after serving on their practice squad all of last year.

Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Malik Willis (thumb) returned to a full practice session on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Jordan Love (elbow) was also limited on Wednesday and a full-go on Thursday, so both signal-callers should be ready to roll for the wild-card playoff game on Sunday in Philadelphia against the Eagles. Willis is dealing with a right-thumb injury that he apparently picked up on Sunday when he came on in relief of Love in the loss to the division-rival Chicago Bears in the Week 18 regular-season finale. The 25-year-old made two starts earlier this year when Love was sidelined with an injury and has appeared in seven games total, going 40-for-54 for 550 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Willis has been serviceable in limited duty for the Packers but won't carry any fantasy value into the postseason with Love looking good to go.
