In the latest NFL news, Jordan Love is reportedly closer to a return to action this week for the Green Bay Packers. According to a tweet from NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Love finds himself in a familiar situation as he is questionable to play on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
If Love is unable to suit up for a third straight game due to a sprained MCL, rookie quarterback Malik Willis will fill in once again. Love sustained the MCL injury in the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, and initial reports indicated he could miss three to six weeks. However, he appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery.
Love, who put up impressive numbers in the season opener, has been on the injury report for the past few weeks. Despite being questionable in previous games, Love has yet to see the field since his injury. This week, there is optimism that he could make his return, but some are advocating for caution given the success the team has had with Willis at quarterback.
While Love’s status remains uncertain, the Packers are in good hands with Willis under center. The young quarterback has helped lead the team to a 2-0 record in Love’s absence. It remains to be seen whether Love will be cleared to play on Sunday, but the Packers will continue to monitor his progress leading up to game day. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
