Jordan Love, the Packers' quarterback, is back throwing at practice, indicating a positive recovery from his knee injury.
Love's MCL sprain was given a recovery timeline of 2-6 weeks.
Jordan Love, the Green Bay Packers' quarterback, may not have to stay out of action for an extended period due to his knee injury.
In Brazil, the Packers’ Week 1 loss to the Eagles resulted in an MCL sprain for Love, who practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday.
Love won't be under center for Green Bay this week against the Tennessee Titans, but fans will enjoy watching him throw passes to teammates during individual drills. Love did not participate in team drills.
Two weeks ago, on the Sao Paulo field, the Packers anxiously waited to see the damage done to the quarterback they signed to a lucrative contract extension after a great first season in 2023.
The Packers were aware that Love would return to the team at some point this season due to his MCL sprain, which was a positive outcome.
Love's participation in practice on Wednesday indicates that he is healthy enough to stand and throw to teammates. While speaking to reporters, Love expressed no eagerness to return to the field on game day.
"He stated that he was feeling much better and taking things one day at a time, as reported by USA Today."
When the injury occurred, Love described it as "definitely painful" and a "very scary moment" as he, like everyone else, was unsure of the extent of the damage.
The diagnosis revealed that Love would have an initial timeline of 2-6 weeks for a return, which is significant because it could mean an earlier return on that timeline.
The Packers will continue giving Malik Willis first-team reps after he played in their home opener win over the Colts.
In Week 2, Josh Jacobs led the league in rushing yards with 151 yards on 32 carries, while head coach Matt LaFleur prioritized the run game over efficiency in the air.
The Packers rushed for 261 yards on 53 carries, with Willis leading the way with 41 yards on six carries.
The Packers acquired Willis from his former team through a trade during the preseason.
