Jordan Love injury update: Packers QB suffers MCL sprain during loss to Eagles, set to miss time, per report

USATSI

Friday night was not a good one for Green Bay Packers fans. In addition to seeing their team lose a tightly contested game to the Philadelphia Eagles, Packers fans saw their quarterback, Jordan Love, sustain a knee injury near the end of Green Bay’s 34-29 setback. 

Tests have revealed that Love sustained an MCL sprain, according to NFL Media, following a previous report that Love’s ACL was intact. He’s expected to miss some time, per ESPN, but the injury is not believed to be season-ending. 

The injury occurred during the Packers’ final possession on Friday when Love was hit by linebacker Josh Sweat and defensive tackle Jalen Carter while getting the ball to running back Josh Jacobs. 

Malik Willis, a 2022 third-round pick whom Green Bay recently traded for, finished the game for the Packers. He threw an incomplete pass to Romeo Doubs on his first snap before he was sacked on the game’s final play.
