Report: Jordan Love of the Packers may have suffered an MCL injury, but likely avoided an ACL injury; further testing required.

During the Green Bay Packers' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday night in Brazil, Jordan Love seems to have avoided injuring any of his knee's major ligaments.

Today, Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reported that Love's ACL was still intact.

ESPN reported that it is believed that Love's MCL may have suffered some damage, but while he will likely be sidelined for an extended period, the injury is not expected to force him to miss the remainder of the season.

In the final moments of the Packers' 34-29 defeat to the Eagles, Love was assisted off the field with an apparent injury to his left leg. The Packers did not have any immediate information on the severity of Love's injury.

When asked about Love's status after the game, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur responded, "I don’t know" twice.

Currently, the only other quarterback on Green Bay's 53-man roster is Malik Willis, a 2022 third-round draft pick from Liberty. Willis was recently acquired from the Tennessee Titans less than two weeks ago in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round pick, and may have to step in for Love if necessary.

Willis has made three career starts during his rookie year.

Love, 25, played his first regular-season game since signing a four-year, $220 million contract extension this summer. The Packers' Super Bowl aspirations were largely due to Love's emergence, who led the NFL's youngest team to a surprising playoff berth last season as a first-year starter.

Sean Clifford, the 2023 fifth-round pick, could be an option for the Packers. The Packers released Clifford and rookie quarterback Michael Pratt after acquiring Willis. Clifford later returned to Green Bay as a member of the practice squad.

The Packers played a "sloppy game," as admitted by LaFleur, and will need to make some corrections before their next game.

"LaFleur stated that there was a lot to clean up after the game, which he believed was sloppy from their perspective. As a staff, they did some uncharacteristic things that affected the players, and they all need to reflect on their actions and improve. The game was not up to standard, and they need to find ways to enhance their performance."

The Indianapolis Colts will visit the Packers on Sept. 15 to kick off their regular season home schedule.
