Packers QB Jordan Love (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. He said, though, that he still thinks "it's realistic" that he'll be able to play vs. the Lions this weekend. "I’ve made progress," Love said. “It’s definitely feeling better. I think every day there will be some improvements to it but definitely feels better than it did on Sunday." We'll keep you updated on Love's status over the next few days. For now, we're projecting QB Malik Willis to start vs. Detroit.
Packers QB Jordan Love's MRI revealed a strained groin, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Colleague Tom Pelissero adds that Love is considered "day to day" and "has a chance" to play vs. the Lions this weekend. Love will certainly push to play in that big game, although it's worth noting that the Packers have a Week 10 bye. We'll track his status throughout the week. If Love is unable to go, Green Bay will turn back to QB Malik Willis. He's played surprisingly well this season, helping the Packers to three wins. But Willis would be a significant downgrade for the team's pass catchers.
There’s "optimism" that Packers QB Jordan Love avoided a long-term groin injury, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Love is set for additional testing on Monday to get a better look at the damage. We should get a timeline for his return then. It's worth noting that the Packers have a Week 10 bye, although Love will surely play in next Sunday's big game against the Lions if he's able.
Packers HC Matt LaFleur admitted after Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars that there's a "high level of concern" about QB Jordan Love's groin injury. "I think everybody could see him struggling to move around," LaFleur added. "It got to a point where we didn't feel like, and he didn't feel like, he could protect himself." QB Malik Willis played well in relief of Love to get Green Bay the win today, completing 4 of 5 passes for 56 yards and a score and running 4 times for 23 yards. Willis went 2-0 as the Packers' starter earlier this season, totaling 324 yards and two TDs passing and 114 yards and a score rushing. Willis finished QB22 and QB6 in fantasy points those weeks. He'll at least be an option in 2-QB leagues vs. the Lions next week if Love misses. We should get an update on Love within the next 24 hours.

"Anytime he's out there, that's encouraging, but again we'll see," HC Matt LaFleur said after Friday's practice. Love is shaping up as a potential game-time decision. We'll get Green Bay's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. QB Malik Willis will get another start if Love can't go.
Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Titans. We’re tentatively expecting him back for next weekend’s divisional game vs. the Vikings but will continue to keep a close eye on his progress. QB Malik Willis gets another start today. The Packers threw just 14 passes vs. 53 runs with Willis at the helm last week. Expect another run-heavy attack today (although probably not that extreme).
ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hear that Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is not expected to play vs. the Titans today. Love got in three limited practices this week, and Rapoport confirms that he has a good chance to return in Week 4. We've been projecting Willis to start against Tennessee all week, so there are no changes to our Week 3 Rankings. Expect another run-heavy game plan from Green Bay.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is targeting a Week 5 return, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Though there is a chance he beats that goal," Rapoport adds.
The Packers have downgraded QB Jordan Love to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Colts. That's not a surprising change. He hasn't practiced since suffering his MCL sprain in the Friday night loss to the Eagles in Week 1. Love has seemed like a stronger candidate for IR than to play in Week 2, but we'll see if he actually has a chance to return for Week 3. In the meantime, Malik Willis takes over the offense. The team also elevated QB Sean Clifford from the practice squad Saturday.
Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. He didn’t practice all week. The Packers really don’t want to have to start QB Malik Willis, so they’re holding out hope for Love. But he’s a long shot to play this weekend with what’s been reported as a multi-week knee injury.
The Packers are not placing QB Jordan Love (knee) on IR, HC Matt LaFleur said. That means the team believes there's a good chance that Love misses fewer than four games. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported on Saturday that Love's "initial timetable" for return was 3-6 weeks. It sounds like he's trending toward the short end of that span.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Packers QB Jordan Love's "initial timetable" for return is 3-6 weeks. "And there's some early optimism he could return sooner than later, pending a second opinion," Pelissero adds. Green Bay's bye isn't until Week 10, so that shouldn't factor into Love's return date. It sounds like we should plan on him missing at least the next three games vs. Indianapolis, at Tennessee, and vs. Minnesota. It's worth noting that the Packers medical staff has historically been cautious in bringing players back from injury.
Packers QB Jordan Love has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. There's no damage to Love's ACL. It's relatively good news, but Rapoport confirms that Love "should miss some time." We'll look for a timetable for his return.
Packers QB Jordan Love left Friday night's loss to the Eagles late in the fourth quarter after suffering an injury to his left leg. Video shows a pop in his knee, but neither the team nor the player offered any details after the game. The obvious general concern is that Love tore a ligament in that knee, but former NFL team doctor David Chao doesn't think that's what happened.
The Titans traded QB Malik Willis to the Packers for a 2025 seventh-round pick. Willis was the 86th overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft but flamed out quickly. He made three starts as a rookie, totaling 234 passing yards on 4.8 yards per attempt. He barely saw the field last year, attempting just five regular-season passes.
In his first career NFL start, Titans QB Will Levis completed 19 of 29 passes for 238 yards with 4 TDs vs. the Falcons. The rookie split some reps with teammate Malik Willis, though his contributions came largely on the ground. Week 8 was essentially The Levis Show, and he shined through his rapport with WR DeAndre Hopkins, the recipient of 3 of the 4 scores thrown in the contest. Though it may be tough to trust Levis on a short week against the Steelers this coming Thursday, managers in 2QB or superflex leagues should make the first-year signal-caller a priority add off the waiver wire if he’s still available.
