The Green Bay coach is leaving the door open for the quarterback to play vs. the Colts.
were dealt a huge blow when starting quarterback Jordan Love sustained a knee injury during the final seconds of their season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil.
Despite expectations that Love would be sidelined for an extended period of time, Packers coach Matt LaFleur spoke to reporters Wednesday and didn't rule out the possibility of Love suiting up for his team's next game..
Love completed 50% of his passes in Green Bay's opener for 260 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. The team did not place him on the injured reserve, leaving open the possibility of him playing Sunday. Had he landed on IR, he'd have been forced to miss a minimum of four weeks. Love's availability will be something to monitor as the week goes on, and LaFleur will surely provide another update on his star quarterback prior to Sunday's kickoff.Karl Rasmussen is a staff writer for the Breaking and Trending News team for Sports Illustrated.
