Green Bay Packer

Jordan Love’s latest Wild Card injury update

Posted on by newssite

The Green Bay Packers were somewhat up and down this season, but they’re about to begin the playoffs with a game against the Philadelphia Eagles, and their loyal fans seem to believe the team can go all the way.

If the Packers are to have any shot at winning the Super Bowl, let alone get past the Eagles, they will need quarterback Jordan Love to be healthy for this game at Lincoln Financial Field.

Love injured his elbow in a Week 18 loss to the Chicago Bears and had been a limited participant at practice.

He recently fully participated in practice, and the Packers seem confident that he will be able to suit up and take the field.

“Business as usual. He looks good,” Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.

Love became the Packers’ starter last season after the franchise traded Aaron Rodgers, and after struggling early, the young player finished the season on a hot streak and led them to the brink of an NFC Championship Game appearance.

That led to high expectations for this season and some declarations that he had become an elite signal-caller.

Love didn’t quite play to that level this season, but he did help Green Bay to an 11-6 record with one of the NFL’s better offensive attacks.

The Eagles are an excellent defensive team that ranked second in points allowed and first in total yards given up, as well as first in passing yards given up, during the regular season.

Love will need to have the game of his career to date to lead his team into the divisional round.
