    SÃO PAULO - When head coach Matt LaFleur entered the room for the post-game press conference, everyone expected some kind of elucidation after a scary moment for Jordan Love in the final seconds of the Green Bay Packers 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil.

    But it didn't come. LaFleur was succinct and said he doesn't have extra information to share at this point.

    "I don't know," LaFleur said when asked if he had any update on Love.

    A follow up question was about if they had any idea of what happened, but LaFleur had the same answer — he didn't want to share any details, if he has any.

    Wide receiver Jayden Reed also talked to the media, but he hadn't talked to Love at that point.

    Love was in pain after a play in the final minute of the action. He had to left the field, and backup Malik Willis finished the game.

    The Packers go back to the United States on Saturday and will be back on the field on Sunday of week 2, against the Indianapolis Colts. The game at Lambeau Field is the home opener.

    Jordan Love finished the game completing 17 of 34 passes for 260 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He had an 82.9 passer rating.

    Depth

    The Packers have two other quarterbacks. Malik Willis, who entered the game, was acquired right before final cuts and is the immediate backup. Last year's fifth-round pick Sean Clifford is on the practice squad.

    The Packers waived seventh-round pick Michael Pratt, and he ended up signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' practice squad — if Green Bay wants it, they could sign him off the Bucs PS to the active roster.
