Packers QB Jordan Love, Lakers star Anthony Davis do jersey swap in Los Angeles

Packers QB Jordan Love and Lakers star (and Packers fan) Anthony Davis swapped a pair of uniforms in Los Angeles on Friday night.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love added a new jersey to his collection during the bye week. On Friday night, Love was in Los Angeles to see Anthony Davis — a big Packers fan — and the Lakers take on the Philadelphia 76ers at crypto.com Arena, and the two stars did a post-game jersey swap.

Not only did Love and Davis do a sport-specific jersey swap — Love got a personalized No. 10 Lakers jersey, while Davis got a personalized No. 3 Packers jersey — but the two also swapped game-worn uniforms. Love received one of Davis’ previously worn gold uniforms, while Davis got a previously worn No. 10 white away uniform.

With Love in the house, Davis scored a game-high 31 points as the Lakers went on to beat the 76ers by 116-106 final.

Love grew up in Bakersfield, California and played basketball in high school.

The Packers are off in Week 10. Love will return to Green Bay to start next week and begin prep for the Chicago Bears, the Packers’ opponent in Week 11.

Packers QB Jordan Love (groin) expected to play vs. Lions

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is expected to play through a groin injury on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is expected to play through a groin injury on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

The Packers listed Love, who injured his groin last Sunday in Jacksonville, as questionable to play on the final injury report. He practiced in a limited capacity on both Thursday and Friday this week.

Coach Matt LaFleur said the Packers would give Love “up to game time to see how he’s feeling,” suggesting a game-time decision. Pelissero’s report indicates Love and the Packers are already comfortable with him being on the field Sunday.

Barring some kind of setback pre-game on Sunday, Love will start against the Lions, who have won five straight games and are leading the NFC North at 6-1. The winner Sunday will take over first place in the division entering Week 10.

Love was injured while extending a play early in the first quarter last week against the Jaguars. He played through the injury for roughly two quarters but exited on the first drive of the third quarter.

Love has thrown 15 touchdown passes and an NFL-high nine interceptions over six starts this season. Backup quarterback Malik Willis led the Packers to back-to-back wins over the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans while Love was out with a sprained MCL, and he engineered a game-winning drive to beat the Jaguars last Sunday. Willis would be next up if Love suffers a setback or has to exit the game Sunday.

Will Jordan Love play in Week Nine? Injury update on Packers quarterback

Will the Packers have Jordan Love against the Lions?

Jordan Love update

On Sunday, the Green Bay Packers host the Detroit Lions in a huge NFC North game.

The concern for the Packers was the availability of quarterback Jordan Love. The news seems to be trending in the right direction.

Why might Jordan Love be out?

The concern over Love is because he suffered a groin injury last week in the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. This would be the second time Love has been shelved by an injury in 2024.

Green Bay Packers QB depth chart

Jordan Love is the No. 1 QB for Green Bay. Behind him is Malik Willis. If Love was unable to go, the Packers would turn to the former Tennessee Titan, again.

Packers listing QB Jordan Love as questionable to play vs. Lions in Week 9

The Green Bay Packers are listing quarterback Jordan Love as questionable to play for Sunday’s NFC North showdown with the Detroit Lions. 

The Green Bay Packers are listing quarterback Jordan Love as questionable to play for Sunday’s NFC North showdown with the Detroit Lions.

Love, who injured his groin in last week’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, missed practice on Wednesday but returned to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday and Friday this week.

“He’ll be questionable for the game,” coach Matt LaFleur said Friday.

Love was previously listed as questionable in Week 3 and Week 4 after injuring his MCL. He sat out the Packers’ win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 3 but returned to play during the Packers’ loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4.

“We will give him up to game time to see how he’s feeling,” LaFleur said.

Earlier this week, Love said he wanted to be able to move in and out of the pocket to play Sunday. His limited mobility and inability to protect himself were reasons why he didn’t finish last week’s win over the Jaguars despite playing through the injury for roughly two quarters.

Love’s backup is Malik Willis, who went 2-0 as a starter with Love out earlier this season. He also led the Packers on a game-winning drive last week in Jacksonville.

Inactives are due 90 minutes before kickoff, so the next update on Love will arrive at roughly 1:55 p.m. CST on Sunday. The Packers and Lions kickoff from Lambeau Field at 3:25 p.m.

Packers QB Jordan Love returns to practice on Thursday

The Green Bay Packers returned quarterback Jordan Love to practice for Thursday’s padded practice.

The Green Bay Packers returned quarterback Jordan Love to practice for Thursday’s padded practice, according to Wes Hodkiewicz of the team’s official site.

Love, who injured his groin during Sunday’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, missed Wednesday’s practice.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Love was “limited” and wouldn’t expand more on his participation during practice on Thursday.

LaFleur said Love would have a chance to play against the Detroit Lions on Sunday whether he practiced or not this week. Love’s return to the practice field — even in a limited capacity — suggests the door is wide open for him to play in three days.

On Wednesday, Love said it was “realistic” he could play Sunday, but he needed to be able to move around and navigate in and out of the pocket well enough for him to be available. He was removed from the game last Sunday after he said his leg “locked” up and he could no longer protect himself. Practicing Thursday — especially in less than ideal weather conditions — provides an opportunity for Love to test out his mobility in an on-field setting.

Love wasn’t the only player to return Thursday. Running back Josh Jacobs (ankle), left guard Elgton Jenkins (glute) and left tackle Rasheed Walker (knee) were all available practice Thursday after missing Wednesday’s session. The three absences: cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee), safety Evan Williams (hamstring) and center Josh Myers (wrist).

The Packers will provide an updated injury report on Thursday. The final injury report with playing status designations arrives Friday afternoon.

This post will be updated with comments from LaFleur after practice.

‘Realistic’ for Packers QB Jordan Love to play vs. Lions, RB Josh Jacobs confident he will play

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love said it’s “realistic” to think he could play Sunday through a groin injury, and running back Josh Jacobs is confident he’ll be able to play through a new ankle injury.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love said it’s “realistic” to think he could play Sunday through a groin injury, and running back Josh Jacobs is confident he’ll be able to play through a new ankle injury.

Both Love and Jacobs missed practice Wednesday. Love said he’s taking it “one day at a time” and he “definitely” wants to play against the Detroit Lions.

“I think it’s realistic,” Love said when asked about playing seven days after injuring his groin on a third-down play in the first quarter of a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Love said he’s made progress over the last few days and is expecting to continue feeling better each day moving forward.

“It’s definitely feeling better,” Love said. “I think every day it will be some improvements to it. Definitely feels better than it did Sunday.”

Coach Matt LaFleur left open the door for Love playing Sunday even if he doesn’t practice during the next two days. Love said he could play without practice reps but admitted it would not be an “ideal format for trying to play a game,” especially against a talented team like the Lions.

The big boxes he needs to check for playing Sunday? An ability to move around in the pocket, a reduced chance of aggravating the injury and being himself as a quarterback.

“Just being able to move around a little bit and be myself out there playing, and not just trying to be stuck in the pocket not being able to move if I need to move,” Love said.

While Love still has hurdles to clear, Jacobs is confident he’ll be ready to go for Sunday.

“I feel pretty good,” Jacobs said. “I’ll be good for game time.”

Jacobs said he took 4-5 hits on his ankle against the Jaguars, and missing Wednesday’s practice was more about maintenance than a suggestion he could miss Sunday’s game.

Jacobs rushed for 127 yards and two scores in the 30-27 win over the Jaguars.

Love said Jacobs has been a “steady force” and “talented runner” for the Packers in his first year in Green Bay.

“He’s a huge part of our offense, helps us get rolling,” Love said.

The Packers will practice again Thursday and Friday before issuing a final injury report on Friday afternoon.

Packers QB Jordan Love not practicing on Wednesday due to groin injury

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (groin injury) was not on the practice field to start on-field prep for the Detroit Lions on Wednesday.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was not on the practice field to start on-field prep for the Detroit Lions on Wednesday, according to Mike Spofford of the team’s official site.

Love was one of seven players not practicing on Wednesday.

Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN, Love rode the exercise bike during team stretch inside the Don Hutson Center and did not go outside with the team for practice.

Coach Matt LaFleur said the Packers will give Love the week to get physically ready to play.

“Just take it one day at a time and see where he’s at at the end of the week,” LaFleur said post-practice on Wednesday. “He wants to play, but we’ll see where he’s at by the end of the week.”

LaFleue wasn’t sure if Love would practice Thursday.

Love is dealing with what is considered to be a minor groin strain. He suffered the injury during the first quarter of Sunday’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and eventually exited the game in the third quarter.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Love is expected to get treatment for the injury all week and will likely be a game-time decision come Sunday, although he is “determined” to play against the Lions.

The Packers will put out an initial injury report on Wednesday, while the final injury report with playing status designations arrives Friday afternoon.

LaFleur and the Packers may have to decide between Love starting the game at less than 100 percent or sitting him in a big divisional game while providing a real chance to get fully healthy during the Week 10 bye. The Packers play the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Nov. 17, which would give Love three full weeks to recover.

The Packers are 6-2 through eight games, while the Lions are 6-1. The winner Sunday will assume first place in the NFC North.

Love missed two games with an MCL sprain earlier this season. Backup quarterback Malik Willis helped the Packers win both games, and he also came on for Love last Sunday and executed a game-winning drive. If Love can’t go, Sean Clifford would be the expected backup behind Willis as a practice squad elevation.

Packers QB Jordan Love ‘determined to play’ vs. Lions despite groin strain

Packers QB Jordan Love wants to play Sunday, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network believes Love has a “really good chance” of playing despite a groin strain.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is considered to be day to day with a groin strain, but he wants to play Sunday and he won’t need to be 100 percent to start the showdown with the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Love is “determined to play” despite the injury, and Rapoport thinks Love has a “really good chance” to play Sunday.

“It’s just a groin strain,” Rapoport said Wednesday. “This is going to be a matter of doing rehab, getting treatment, working right up until game time, just seeing if he’s good enough to play. He is determined to play. He does not need to be 100 percent to play. That makes me believe that he’s got a really good chance.”

Love injured his groin early on in the Packers’ win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. He played through the injury for two quarters but eventually exited the game early in the third quarter.

The Packers will practice Wednesday, and Rapoport wasn’t sure if Love would be participating or not to start the week. It’s possible he’ll be held out of practice to let the groin heal and give Love the best chance to play Sunday.

Malik Willis, who is 2-0 as the starter, would start if Love can’t go against the Lions.

If Love’s knee injury earlier this season is any indication, expect the Packers quarterback to be a game-time decision, with limited practice availability this week and a likely “questionable” listing on the final injury report on Friday. And don’t expect coach Matt LaFleur to divulge any important details on his status this week.

The Packers have a bye in Week 10, so barring a setback, Love should be close to 100 percent when Green Bay faces the Chicago Bears coming out of the bye in Week 11.

MRI reveals minor groin strain for Packers QB Jordan Love

An MRI done Monday on Jordan Love’s new injury revealed a minor groin strain, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

An MRI done Monday on Jordan Love’s new injury revealed a minor groin strain, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Green Bay Packers quarterback is expected to get treatment and be monitored throughout this week, but a major injury has now been ruled out.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Love is considered day to day and will still have a shot at playing Sunday against the Detroit Lions.

Love suffered the injury on the first drive of the Packers’ win over the Jacksonville. He came up gimpy following an extended play in which he threw downfield while scrambling to his right. Love remained in the game for the next two quarters, but his movement was severely limited and the Packers eventually removed him after got bumped following a throw on the first drive of the second half.

The Packers play the Lions in a major NFC North battle on Sunday at Lambeau Field. Even if Love practices in any capacity this week, he’s likely headed towards a game-time decision come Sunday. Green Bay has the bye week in Week 10, so if Love sits on Sunday, he’ll get a full three weeks to recover before playing the Chicago Bears coming out of the bye on Nov. 17.

The Packers’ backup quarterback is Malik Willis, who won both of his starts in place of Love earlier this season and led a game-winning drive on Sunday in Jacksonville.

Love missed starts in Week 2 and Week 3 while recovering from a sprained MCL in his left knee.

Coach Matt LaFleur is scheduled to address the media later Monday. He’ll likely be able to confirm that Love avoided a long-term injury.

The Packers are also awaiting test results on cornerback Jaire Alexander, who appeared to suffer a knee injury late on Sunday. Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN, Alexander is also having an MRI on Monday.
