The Packers prepare to play the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Love suffered a knee injury in the season opener against Brazil’s Philadelphia Eagles earlier this month and has missed the past two games. He returned to practice last week and has been doing little since.

Over the past two games, Willis has thrown for 324 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while leading the Packers to two straight wins. On Monday, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said the team is preparing to see Love and Willis.

We need to be prepared for both.” O’Connell added, “We don’t benefit from knowing what we find, so we need to prepare a comprehensive battle plan for ourselves. two. “It’s a great group of smart kids, great running backs, a great O-line, a special group.”
