    The Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is someone who enjoys a bit of gamesmanship, but did he give away Jordan Love's injury status for NFL Week 3 in their matchup with the Tennessee Titans? Or, is LaFleur once again being coy, hoping to give the Titans' defense something else to think about?

    You can decide for yourself in this video from a recent Green Bay Packers press conference with Matt LaFleur. The head coach was asked if Jordan Love was medically cleared to play. The coach's response:

    Green Bay Packers Injury Report vs Titans

    The following is the Week 3 Green Bay Packers injury report for the game against the Tennessee Titans. Included is the participation from Friday's practice and their game status, if there is an injury tag.

    • OL Jordan Morgan: DNP (Shoulder) — OUT
    • CB Carrington Valentine: DNP (Ankle) — DOUBTFUL
    • QB Jordan Love: LP (Knee) — QUESTIONABLE
    • DT Kenny Clark: LP (Toe)
    • RB Josh Jacobs: LP (Back)
    • G Elgton Jenkins: LP (Illness/Glute)
    • TE Tucker Kraft: LP (Shoulder)
    • C Josh Myers: LP (Ankle)
    • WR Jayden Reed: LP (Calf)
    • OT Zach Tom: LP (Quad)
    • OT Rasheed Walker: LP (Shoulder)
    • DE Kingsley Enagbare: FP (Groin)

    Jordan Love was initially expected to miss over a month of action with a strained MCL. Then, fast improvement and Love avoiding the IR meant he could return sooner. But how soon?

    Matt LaFleur certainly suggested above that Love could play this week against the Tennessee Titans. However, with the Titans having a tough defense, this being a nearly meaningless game against an AFC opponent, and us having the Malik Willis "revenge game" storyline, it doesn't make much sense for Love to return this week. Of course, with the Packers facing the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4, it makes Love resting another week even more meaningful.

    But as Matt LaFleur said, Jordan Love's desire to return will play a part in his injury status for the game. After a poor performance in Week 1, Love certainly would love (no pun intended) to get back on the field and prove that he deserves the large contract he received this offseason.

    So, what do you think? Will Jordan Love play for the Green Bay Packers in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans? If not, what is your score prediction for Malik Willis' revenge game?
