Packers quarterback Jordan Love may not be out for an extended period of time due to his knee injury, as he practiced in a limited capacity just two weeks after spraining his MCL in Brazil. While Love is not expected to play against the Titans, fans were encouraged to see him throwing passes during individual drills. The injury occurred at the end of a close loss to the Eagles, causing concern among the Packers organization, but the diagnosis of an MCL sprain meant that Love would likely return at some point during the season.
Love’s presence at practice on Wednesday indicated that he was healthy enough to participate in some capacity, although he did not take part in team drills. When speaking to reporters, Love mentioned that his injury was painful and scary, but he was feeling better and taking his recovery day by day. The initial timeline for his return was set at 2-6 weeks, but his participation in practice hinted at a potentially earlier comeback. In the meantime, Malik Willis, who played in the Packers’ recent win over the Colts, will continue to take first-team reps.
In the win against the Colts, Willis was efficient with his passing, completing 12 of 14 attempts, but the team leaned heavily on the run game with Josh Jacobs leading the league in rushing yards for the week. The Packers as a team rushed for 261 yards on 53 carries, with Willis also contributing 41 yards on the ground. Willis will have the opportunity to face his former team, who traded him to the Packers late in the preseason. Head coach Matt LaFleur emphasized the importance of the run game, with Jacobs delivering a standout performance.
Fans can expect Willis to lead the Packers in Love’s absence, with the quarterback gearing up for a potential comeback in the coming weeks. His practice participation indicated progress in his recovery, and his positive attitude toward the injury suggests a strong mindset for the road ahead. As the Packers navigate their quarterback situation, both Love and Willis will play crucial roles in guiding the team through the challenges of the season.
