Breaking: Packers favorite player resumes practice after “Serious” knee injury.
For the first time since suffering a left medial collateral ligament injury, quarterback Jordan Love of the Green Bay Packers is working out again, but the team is hesitant to guarantee he will play against Tennessee on Sunday.
Love took part in a short practice on Wednesday, but the Packers withheld information regarding the extent of his activity. Coach Matt LaFleur had this to say regarding Love’s workload: “He was limited.”
“I’m not going to make any decisions on that right now; I’m going to take the week and just take it day by day and see how it feels,” Love declared. Although we’re just going to take things day by day, I’m hoping that I’ll eventually reach the point where I can enter there.
Love missed his first game as Green Bay’s starting quarterback since taking over as the team’s starter last season when he did not practice at all the week before and did not play on Sunday in a 16-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
On September 6, in Brazil, he suffered a knee injury during the final play of the Packers’ 34-29 season-opening defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Josh Sweat and Jalen Carter put pressure on Love as he attempted to give Josh Jacobs a backward pass. Carter was shoved down by Sweat while he was on the ground clutching Love’s left leg.
Love remarked, “I was telling people it’s the most pain I’ve been in.” “So, you know, just a lot of feelings, but it was traumatic and at the time, we had no idea what may have happened, what the injury actually was, how long I might be out.”
On the plane ride back to the United States, Love said that he was concerned about the severity of his injury.
“I’ve never had an ACL (tear) or anything like that, so I didn’t know what that might be,” Love remarked, “but I did tear a meniscus (in my right knee) in college.” “I must have had a lot of thoughts going through my head.”
He was unaware at the time that he would be returning to practice in less than two weeks.
Backup quarterback Malik Willis observed, “You can see that he feels more comfortable just moving around the building, the way he was out there today.”
