Packers QB Injury Update: Love Clears Protocol, Willis Pushes Through
24 Dec
Summary
- Jordan Love is in concussion protocol but participated in meetings and walk-through.
- Malik Willis downplayed his shoulder injury, aiming to play Saturday.
- Running back Josh Jacobs is managing a knee injury as playoffs loom.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love took initial steps toward returning from a concussion sustained in the recent loss to the Chicago Bears. He participated in team meetings and a walk-through session, although he remains in the NFL's concussion protocol. Coach Matt LaFleur indicated Love would be limited in practice as preparation begins for the upcoming game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Backup quarterback Malik Willis also addressed his shoulder injury, sustained on the final play of regulation against the Bears. Despite the injury, Willis downplayed its severity and expressed confidence in his ability to play on Saturday, whether as a starter or backup. He acknowledged the team's lack of depth at quarterback as a motivating factor in playing through the injury.
Beyond the quarterback concerns, running back Josh Jacobs continues to manage a lingering knee injury that has been an issue for over a month. With the Packers vying for a playoff spot in the final two games of the season, the team's medical staff and coaches are carefully evaluating his condition to determine the best course of action for both short-term performance and long-term health.
