Packers make curious practice change while dealing with Jordan Love injury concern
NY Post
The Eagles are not the only team dealing with quarterback uncertainty entering the playoffs.
Packers quarterback Jordan Love said he’s “hopeful” he can play Sunday in Philadelphia while dealing with a right elbow injury that made him a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice.
Green Bay notably even went so far as to end the media’s practice presence after stretching and before individual drills, which are usually open to reporters, thus preventing those present from seeing Love throw, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
“Just based on my hand, getting back to it,” Love said of being a limited participant limited Wednesday.
Though it’s not DEFCON alert yet in the Frozen Tundra, the Packers received a scare in Week 18 when he exited the loss to the Bears after hitting his elbow on a throw.
Love later said he experienced numbness in his throwing hand, though coach Matt LaFleur said his franchise quarterback could have re-entered the game if needed.
