Jordan Love avoids worst as Packers can exhale after positive injury news
NY Post
It appears that, for now, Packers quarterback Jordan Love has avoided the worst following his injury on the final drive of Friday’s game.
Love sustained an MCL sprain that’ll sideline him for around three or four weeks, according to ESPN, but the injury — which followed a report earlier Saturday from NFL Network that his ACL remained intact — won’t end his season.
When Love attempted to dump the ball to running back Josh Jacobs while escaping pressure in the fourth quarter, Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter grabbed his leg and Josh Sweat shoved him to the ground — and at some point during that sequence, Love’s left leg appeared to buckle.
He was helped off the field with trainers on either side, and Malik Willis entered for the final two snaps — throwing an incompletion and taking a sack — of the game.
The Packers lost to the Eagles, 34-29, on Friday in Brazil, with Love — who signed a four-year, $220 million extension in July — throwing for 260 yards, two touchdowns and one interception before the injury.
“That’s the franchise right there,” defensive lineman Kenny Clark told reporters Friday night, according to the Associated Press. “Hopefully, he can be back next week and he can be all right.”
