Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love WILL NOT PLAY/WILL PLAY on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. He was listed as inactive when the Packers published his list 90 minutes before the start of the match.
Love injured his knee in the final seconds of the Packers’ Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil. He was diagnosed with a sprained MCL and did not practice or play in Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts, a 16-10 win started by Malik Wills in his Packers debut.
But Love returned to practice on a limited basis the Wednesday before Week 3, and on Thursday he was back to practicing with padding (also limited). The quarterback was reportedly pushing past the previous 3-4 week timeline, and head coach Matt LaFleur said later that day that they would give Love until “90 minutes before tipoff” on Sunday, presumably to convince them he’s OK to play.
On Friday, Love was designated as questionable. When LaFleur was asked if Love had been medically cleared to play, all he would say was that they are “Working on it.”
Despite the preparation, Love’s MCL sprain was too much for him to overcome in just two weeks. He’ll be sidelined against the Titans, but his progress over the past week makes it even more likely that he could be ready to return in time for Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings at home.
