Green Bay Packers fans were not anticipating Jordan Love’s participation in Week 2, but the latest injury report changed that expectation.
Love, who sprained his left MCL in the Packers’ Week 1 loss in Brazil, missed practice this week. However, on Friday, he was listed as “questionable” for the upcoming home game against the Indianapolis Colts, instead of being ruled out.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur mentioned that Love has not yet been medically cleared to play. “He’s doing well,” LaFleur stated. “He has a positive attitude and is improving daily.”
Earlier, LaFleur had noted that the team would not place Love on injured reserve and would continue to assess his condition daily.
It’s been a week since Love’s injury occurred. He was assisted off the field with six seconds remaining in the 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on September 6. In that game, Love completed 17 of 34 passes for 260 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception.
Malik Willis, who was promoted to the starting position until Love returns, was acquired from the Tennessee Titans last month and was the backup quarterback behind Love entering Week 1.
The Packers also listed wide receiver Jayden Reed (calf/shin) and running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) as questionable on the injury report.
