Green Bay Packers fans worldwide held their breath on Friday evening when quarterback Jordan Love suffered a seeming knee injury during his team’s 34–29 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in Sao Paulo, Brazil. However, it seems Love’s injury may not be as severe as first thought.
According to an ESPN report by Adam Schefter on Saturday afternoon, Love’s injury, which is thought to involve his MCL, will not sideline him for the remainder of the 2024 season. Before leaving the game with six seconds left on Friday, Love had thrown for 260 yards, with 17 completions on 34 attempts, including two touchdowns and one interception.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Love is expected to be out for three to six weeks, though there’s hope he might return “sooner than later” depending on a second opinion. Love had a strong 2024 season, throwing 32 touchdowns and only 11 interceptions, leading the Packers to the NFC divisional round. He signed a four-year, $220 million contract extension in July.
Green Bay is set to play its next game on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
