3 NOVEMBER: Love had no problems in practice last week and despite being labeled “questionable” with a groin injury, He is expected to play in the 9th weekAccording to Pelissero. This is especially good news for the Packers, considering Green Bay (6-2) hosts the NFC North-leading Lions (6-1).

28 OCTOBER: Jordan Love He may have avoided a serious injury during yesterday’s win over the Jaguars, but the Packers QB’s status for Week 9 is unclear. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero passes away Love was said to have likely “avoided a long-term injury” in yesterday’s contest. ESPN’s Rob Demovsky notes He said today’s tests showed no significant damage and Love has been officially diagnosed with a strain.

Love strained his groin and was seen limping during the first half of yesterday’s contest. He finally left the game with support Malik Willis We play the majority of the second half. An MCL sprain caused the starter to miss both Week 2 and Week 3, but despite his growing list of ailments, the Packers have no intention of slowly nursing Love back to full health.

“Yes, if he can go, he will go.” coach Matt LaFleur spoke about Love’s status for this weekend (via Demovsky ). “So we’ll see where he is by the end of the week. But we definitely won’t put him in that situation if we feel like he can’t protect himself.”

As LaFleur noted, the Packers will have a week to evaluate Love’s progress before making a final decision on their QB situation for Sunday’s showdown with the Lions. If Love is forced to miss the game, Demovsky writes, it would likely be just a one-game absence for the point guard.

After finally being elevated to the QB1 role in 2023, Love had a breakout campaign, throwing for 32 goals before helping his team advance to the Divisional Round. The QB signed a four-year, $220 million extension this offseason, and Love began the 2024 season with a 4-2 record and a league-leading 7.5 percent TD passing rate. Despite missing more than two games, Love led the league with nine interceptions.
