Willis will suit up for Saturday's preseason finale against the Seahawks, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Willis started the Packers' preseason win over the Colts last weekend, completing six of 14 passes for 83 yards while handling the first three possessions with Jordan Love (thumb) sidelined. While Love will get some work in during joint practices with Seattle this week, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site, the team's No. 1 quarterback hasn't yet been cleared for full-team reps as he recovers from last week's surgery to address an ulnar collateral ligament injury. Love is still fully expected to be ready for Week 1, so Willis will open the regular season in his usual backup role.
