Green Bay Packers Receive Positive Injury Update for QB Jordan Love

The worst thing that Green Bay Packers fans could have imagined seemingly took place on Friday night when franchise quarterback Jordan Love went down with an apparent knee injury on the second-to-last play of the game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Love, who was taken down awkwardly by his legs, appeared to have tweaked his knee, and had to be helped off of the field before the end of the game, a 34-29 loss.

There was a lot of speculation as to how serious the injury was as Love initially walked off of the field with some help from teammates and trainers, with major concerns that he suffered ACL damage and could see his season in danger.

On Saturday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that some positive news came in, and Love only suffered a sprained MCL, and that no ACL damage was found.

While the injury won't likely end Love's season, he will likely miss at least a few weeks going forward, if not more. Love was expected to be in the MVP conversation this year after making a run into the playoffs last season.

Love completed 17-for-34 passes for 260 yards, 2 TDs, and 1 INT on Friday night in the loss.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Love is expected to return anywhere from 3-6 weeks, with some hopes that he could be back on the field sooner rather than later.

The backup for Green Bay is currently Malik Willis, who the Packers traded for just a couple of weeks before the season started. He will likely now take over as the starter until Love is able to return.
