Jordan Love injury update: NFL insider offers surprising update on Green Bay Packers quarterback


Jordan Love injury update: NFL insider offers surprising update on Green Bay Packers quarterback

Jordan Love could be back sooner than expected, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. After suffering an MCL injury in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Love has made significant progress.

In fact, the Tennessee Titans are preparing for two different quarterbacks. Former Titans quarterback Malik Willis is expected to start, but Love could also take the field.

It sounds like Love has a good chance of making it and qualifying back for week three.

“This will be a decision during the game, a decision of the coach,” Fowler said on SportsCenter“Right now, the Packers are monitoring the knee sprain. He’s been practicing all week, which is a good sign. They’ll test him and see how he feels throughout the weekend. They’re working on getting him medically cleared. To my knowledge, he hasn’t been cleared yet.

“But keep in mind, as people are telling me this week, the Packers are notoriously cautious with injuries. They don’t usually bring guys back too quickly. This is supposed to be a three- to four-week thing, but it looks like he’s responded well, it seems to be on the up. I’m told the Titans are taking a wait-and-see approach. They’re prepared for Jordan Love and Malik Willis.”

After practicing in protective gear on a limited basis this week and being questionable for Sunday’s game, there is plenty of optimism that Love will be back at the forefront of the recovery time.

The Packers moved to 1-1 with a win in Week 2, when Willis led the offense to a win over the Colts. Willis is expected to start against his former team if Love is unable to play.

Besides Love, only two other Packers are heading into the weekend with injuries. Rookie offensive tackle Jordan Morgan is out after missing practice all week with a shoulder injury. And defensive back Carrington Valentine is questionable with an ankle injury after also missing practice this week.

Love was the only Packer limited on Friday who carries a designation into the weekend. In addition to Love, the other restricted participants were: Kenny Clark (toe), Josh Jacobs (back), Elgton Jenkins (illness/glute), Tucker Kraft (shoulder), Josh Myers (ankle), Jayden Reed (calf), Zach Tom (quad) and Rasheed Walker (shoulder).
