The Packers got Love back at practice on Thursday after he missed Wednesday’s practice due to a groin injury. He was still a limited participant, but it looks like he’s trending in the right direction for Sunday’s game, which is obviously great news for all of Green Bay’s skill-position players.

Jordan Love‘s groin injury is believed to be minor, but his availability for Week 9 against the Lions could be in doubt.

Jordan Love (groin) exits Sunday due to mobility concerns
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love exited Sunday’s game early because he was “struggling to move” properly and couldn’t best protect himself, says head coach Matt LaFleur.

Fantasy Impact

LaFleur reportedly pulled Love due to concerns about the QB’s ability to move and protect himself, leading to his early exit. He ended the day with just 196 passing yards, one interception and zero touchdowns. It is unclear if this could be a multi-week injury or if he will be available next week after dealing with some tightness. His situation should be monitored closely with Green Bay set to host the Detroit Lions in Week 9. Malik Willis will continue serving as Love’s backup.
