Packers get hopeful Jordan Love injury news with more tests to come
It appears that, for now, Packers quarterback Jordan Love has avoided one of the worst-case scenarios following his injury on the final drive of Friday’s game.
Early tests conducted by Green Bay revealed that Love’s ACL was intact, according to NFL Network, but the team will reportedly continue testing in order to determine the severity of their franchise quarterback’s injury.
The Athletic also reported that an ankle injury has already been eliminated as a possible option.
When Love attempted to dump the ball to running back Josh Jacobs while escaping pressure in the fourth quarter, Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter grabbed his leg and Josh Sweat shoved him to the ground — and at some point during that sequence, Love’s left leg appeared to buckle.
The Packers lost to the Eagles, 34-29, on Friday in Brazil, with Love — who signed a four-year, $220 million extension in July — throwing for 260 yards, two touchdowns and one interception before the injury.
