  • Next Gen Stats

    Prior to Week 17 and with Jordan Love at quarterback, the Packers offense had aligned in condensed formations on 50.5% of their plays (4th-highest), gone under center on 36.1% of their downs (12th-highest), and used motion at a 65.3% rate (15th-highest).

  • Tosses four TDs in playoff loss

    Love completed 24 of 46 passes for 323 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions while adding one rush for 11 yards in the Packers' 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears on Saturday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

    Analysis: Love was cooking over the first two quarters of Saturday's wild-card matchup, connecting on first-half touchdown passes of seven, 18 and one yard to Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs, respectively. Following a quiet, scoreless third quarter, Love capped off a six-play, 54-yard drive with a 23-yard scoring toss to Matthew Golden that answered a Bears TD just past the midway point of the final period. However, Love couldn't counter either of Caleb Williams' two subsequent scoring…read more

  • Confirmed for wild-card start

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that Love will serve as the team's starting quarterback in Saturday's wild-card game in Chicago, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After sustaining a concussion in Week 16, Love missed a Week 17 loss to the Ravens and served as the backup to third-string quarterback Clayton Tune in the regular-season finale despite clearing the league's protocol, with nothing on the line for the Packers. According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, LaFleur noted that Love still got in a "mostly normal amount of practice work" last week. The QB will benefit from another full week of practice leading up to Saturday's contest and will be aided by…read more

  • Active Sunday, but backing up Tune

    Love is listed as active Sunday in Minnesota, and he'll serve as the No. 2 QB behind starter Clayton Tune with Malik Willis (right shoulder/hamstring) inactive, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Love cleared the concussion protocol Thursday, and at the same time coach Matt LaFleur announced that Tune would be Green Bay's starter under center for Week 18. After the team chose not to elevate Desmond Ridder from the practice squad Saturday, Love and Willis remained as the considerations for backup duties Sunday. Love's name was called over Willis, perhaps due to Willis still tending to right shoulder and hamstring injuries. Love thus has a chance for his first game action since the second…read more

  • Clears protocol, won't start

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Love has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol but that Clayton Tune will start at quarterback for Sunday's regular-season finale on the road against Minnesota, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Love is on track to sit during Week 18 action as Green Bay prioritizes maintaining the starting quarterback's health for the postseason, an unsurprising decision given that the team is already locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC side of the playoffs. LaFleur said the Packers are still working through the process of determining the backup for Tune, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports, with candidates presumably including both Malik Willis (shoulder/hamstring) and recent…read more

    Love (left shoulder/concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: This marks Love's first uncapped session since he sustained a concussion Week 16 at Chicago, but coach Matt LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic earlier Wednesday that Love still was in the concussion protocol, while also saying some starters won't suit up Sunday in Minnesota. Although No. 2 QB Malik Willis (right shoulder/hamstring) was limited Wednesday, he wasn't among the signal-callers (Love and practice-squad members Clayton Tune and Desmond Ridder) spotted throwing, according to…read more

  • Still in protocol, some starters to rest

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Love (shoulder/concussion) will practice but remains in the NFL's five-step protocol for brain injuries, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Love was listed as a limited participant at all three of Green Bay's practice sessions prior to being ruled out for the team's loss to Baltimore in Week 17, in which backup Malik Willis (shoulder) also suffered an injury late, leading to third-string quarterback Clayton Tune taking the field. Per Zach Kruse of USA Today, LaFleur confirmed Wednesday that some starters will be held out of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Vikings, since the Packers are already locked into the No. 7…read more

  • Status TBD for Week 18

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said after Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens that Love (concussion) will resume starting over Malik Willis (shoulder) when healthy, but he declined to confirm whether the team would rest any players during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: "[Love] is our franchise quarterback," LaFleur said, "and when he is healthy, he's going to be our starter." Willis was forced out late Week 17 versus Baltimore and replaced by third-string quarterback Clayton Tune, which leaves Green Bay's QB situation very murky heading into Week 18. While Willis reportedly could have returned Saturday had the game still been close, the Packers are already locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, giving LaFleur plenty of incentive to allow both…read more

  • Out for Week 17

    Love (left shoulder/concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Love thus will miss his first game of the season due to the concussion that he suffered last Saturday in Chicago, yielding the offense to backup Malik Willis (right shoulder/Illness). Love will turn his focus to getting healthy ahead of a Week 18 road matchup with the Vikings.

  • Unlikely to play Saturday

    Love (left shoulder/concussion) isn't expected to play Saturday against the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Love had exactly one week to get through the concussion protocol after making an early exit from last Saturday's loss at Chicago due to a head injury. He was listed as limited on all three of the Packers' Week 17 practice reports, and because he required clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up Saturday, it appears the window was too tight for him to be available. In Love's expected absence this weekend, Malik Willis (right shoulder/illness), who also is listed as…read more

  • Questionable for Saturday

    Love (left shoulder/concussion) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Both Love and backup QB Malik Willis (right shoulder/illness) received the same listing for Week 17 action, leaving the question of who will start under center for Green Bay in flux. Love must make his way through the protocol for head injuries after he made an early exit this past Saturday at Chicago due to a concussion, and he was listed as limited on all three practice reports this week, which indicates he has a few steps, including gaining clearance from an independent neurologist, to get…read more

    Love (left shoulder/concussion) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Love departed this past Saturday's loss at Chicago in the third quarter due to a concussion and since then has also been listed with a left shoulder injury, which limited him at Tuesday's walkthrough. Prior to that session, coach Matt LaFleur discussed the circumstances regarding Love and No. 2 QB Malik Willis (right shoulder), telling Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com that the Packers will "see how they progress throughout the course of the week."

    Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Love (concussion) will be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Though Love was diagnosed with a concussion just three days earlier after being forced out of Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears, he already appears to be making some progress through the league's five-step protocol. That being said, LaFleur doesn't necessarily feel any better about Love's chances of playing Saturday against the Ravens than he did 48 hours ago, with the coach noting that the Packers need to see how the quarterback progresses over the next few days, per Zach Jacobson of…read more

  • LaFleur confirms concussion diagnosis

    Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Sunday that Love suffered a concussion during Saturday's loss at Chicago, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Love's diagnosis already was known when he was ruled out for the rest of Week 16 action, but he now will need to increase his activity level as this coming week goes on and also gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play next Saturday against the Ravens. The Packers will post their first Week 17 injury report Tuesday, at which point the statuses of both Love and backup QB Malik Willis (shoulder) -- who is "pretty sore" following Saturday's game, as LaFleur told Hodkiewicz…read more

  • Won't return to Week 16 contest

    Love has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's clash against Chicago due to a concussion.

    Analysis: Love took a helmet-to-helmet hit from a Chicago defender midway through the second quarter and was subsequently evaluated for a concussion. That testing has led to the star quarterback being ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's big NFC North matchup. Love will finish the game having completed eight of 13 passes for 77 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions while adding two rushes for seven yards. Malik Willis will be under center for Green Bay for the remainder of Saturday's game.

  • Officially questionable to return

    Love (head) is questionable to return to Saturday's Week 16 battle against the Bears.

    Analysis: Love was hurt midway through the second quarter after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit that drew a roughing-the-passer penalty. He spent some time being assessed on the field before heading to the medical tent and then to the locker room. If he's unable to return to action Saturday, Malik Willis would guide Green Bay's offense the rest of the way.

  • Heads to locker room after big hit

    Love (head) went to the locker room after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit in the second quarter of Saturday's Week 16 matchup against Chicago, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Love took a helmet-to-hit from the Bears' Austin Booker that drew a roughing-the-passer penalty. After initially being tended to on the field, Love was able to jog off and head to the medical tent, and he subsequently went to the locker room (presumably for further evaluation). Malik Willis has entered the game to take over at quarterback for the Packers.

  • Two turnovers in loss

    Love completed 24 of 40 passes for 276 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos. He added three rushes for 29 yards.

    Analysis: Love attempted at least 40 passes for only the second time this season, and for the first time since Week 4. He had plenty of strong moments, highlighted by four completions of at least 20 yards, as well as a scramble that picked up 24 yards. Love's lone touchdown of the game came on a lofted pass to the back corner of the end zone to Josh Jacobs from 14 yards away. While those moments helped keep the Packers in the game, Love threw a pair of key picks -- one that led to a Broncos touchdown and…read more

  • Hot play continues with three TDs

    Love completed 17 of 25 pass attempts for 234 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 28-21 win over Chicago.

    Analysis: Love followed up his four-score outing from Thanksgiving with Sunday's three-touchdown effort in another win over a division foe. The 26-year-old also threw his fourth interception of the season, but it barely dented his 120.7 passer rating against the Bears. Love has completed 67 percent of his passes for 3,028 passing yards while generating 22 touchdowns and six turnovers across 13 starts in 2025. With his midseason cold spell in the rear-view mirror, Love is looking like a startable fantasy…read more

  • Four TDs in Thanksgiving Day win

    Love completed 18 of 30 passes for 234 yards and four touchdowns in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions. He added five rushing attempts for four yards.

    Analysis: Love tossed second-quarter touchdown passes of 22 yards to Dontayvion Wicks and two yards to Romeo Doubs, then added third-quarter touchdown passes of 51 yards to Christian Watson and one yard to Wicks. Each of those four touchdown passes gave the Packers leads of exactly 10 points. Love had only two touchdown passes in his previous four games combined, so Thursday's bounce-back performance was a welcome sight for Love's fantasy managers, as he tied his single-game career high with four…read more

  • Operates as game manager

    Love completed 14 of 21 passes for 139 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed three times for 15 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: Love's final line underscores how little the Packers were threatened by the Vikings' J.J. McCarthy-led offense in the divisional clash. Love, who Ryan Wood of USA Today reports conceded to having taken "a couple hits" to his shoulder without serious impact, attempted well under 25 passes for the third straight game and eighth time this season overall. The veteran signal-caller also failed to throw a touchdown pass for the third time in four contests, but he figures to have to be much more…read more

    Analysis: Love was briefly forced out of Green Bay's win over the Giants in Week 11 due to a shoulder issue, but it doesn't appear the starting quarterback is any danger of missing time. However, Love's top five wide receivers are all listed on Wednesday's injury report in some fashion, with Romeo Doubs (wrist), Matthew Golden (wrist/shoulder), Christian Watson (knee) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) having been limited at practice, and Savion Williams (foot) designated as a non-participant.

    Analysis: Love was forced from the game at one point due to a shoulder injury, and although Zach Jacobson of 24/7 Sports reports the quarterback's shoulder was in good enough shape for him to reenter the game, it will undergo further evaluation by the team's medical staff in Green Bay. Meanwhile, Love was able to lead the Packers to victory against a feisty Giants team, connecting with Josh Whyle (two yards) and Christian Watson (17 yards) for his pair of scoring tosses.

    Love completed 20 of 36 passes for 176 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions while adding five rushes for 28 yards in the Packers' 10-7 loss to the Eagles on Monday night. He committed two fumbles, losing one.

    Analysis: Love's night didn't even live up to his middling numbers, as 71 of the veteran signal-caller's yards came on the last two drives. The Packers' five first-half possessions resulted in four punts and a lost fumble by Love on a sack, and he averaged a season-low 4.9 yards per attempt overall. Love also went without a touchdown pass for the second straight game while producing his fourth sub-200-yard tally of the campaign, leaving him with plenty of room for improvement in a Week 11 road matchup…read more

  • Can't find end zone in Week 9 loss

    Love completed 26 of 37 passes for 273 yards and an interception in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers. He added one yard on his only carry.

    Analysis: While Love saw plenty of pass volume he wasn't able to get the ball into the end zone for the first time in 2025, with Josh Jacobs punching in Green Bay's only TD of the afternoon. Those struggles may have stemmed in large part from the loss of Love's favorite target, as tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) left the game in the third quarter and didn't return. Rookie wideout Matthew Golden (shoulder) was also knocked out of the game early in the third quarter, further depleting his downfield options.…read more

    Analysis: Love was nearly flawless in Sunday's primetime victory. finishing with a season-high 78.3 percent completion rate. It was the 26-year-old's second time eclipsing 300 passing yards while throwing for three touchdowns this season.

  • Leads late rally over Cards

    Love completed 19 of 29 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Cardinals. He added 22 rushing yards on four carries.

    Analysis: The Packers' offense slept through the first half, managing only two field goals, but Love was able to get thing going after halftime as the team rallied from a 13-6 deficit with three second-half TDs, including a seven-yard TD pass to Tucker Kraft. Love has had an efficient start to the season, posting a 10:2 TD:INT through six games, but he's thrown a single touchdown in three of his last four starts.

  • Efficient showing against Bengals

    Love completed 19 of 26 passes for 259 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 27-18 win over the Bengals. He added seven rushes for 26 yards.

    Analysis: The Packers were happy to rely upon Josh Jacobs as the primary driver of their offense, but Love turned in a strong performance when called upon. He completed six passes of at least 20 yards and tacked on a touchdown pass of 19 yards. Love continues to operate Green Bay's offense effectively, though he's now taken to the air fewer than 30 times in three of five games this season. That makes him reliant upon big plays and touchdowns to deliver for fantasy purposes.

The Packers were also pushed offensively by Dak Prescott and the Cowboys, with Love attempting at least 40 passes for only the sixth time in a regular-season contest in his career.

    Love completed 18 of 25 passes for 183 yards with a touchdown and an interception and rushed four times for 18 yards in the Packers' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Analysis: Love's final stat line -- not to mention the final score -- both hint plenty at what type of day it was for the Packers offense, and additional insight can be gleaned from the fact Love was sacked five times and hit seven times overall. The talented signal-caller had a tight circle of six targets overall in his first full game of 2025 without Jayden Reed (IR-collarbone/foot), and his interception at his own 29-yard line with just over three minutes remaining set the Browns up for a game-tying…read more

    Analysis: Love's 9.4 yards per attempt tells the story of his ability to pierce the Commanders secondary for chunk plays throughout the night, despite losing Jayden Reed to a shoulder injury in the first quarter on a touchdown pass nullified by penalty. Love's notable completions included 23- and 57-yard connections with tight ends Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft, respectively, as well as a 37-yard strike to Malik Heath.

    Love completed 16 of 22 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Lions. He also rushed three times for four yards.

    Analysis: Love threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Tucker Kraft in the first quarter and a 17-yarder to Jayden Reed in the second to help the Packers take a 17-3 lead into the locker room. Green Bay's defense and running game took it from there, but it was still disappointing to see Love come up short of 200 passing yards for the fourth straight start dating back to the 2024 regular season.

    Analysis: Love had surgery Aug. 12 to address a ligament injury in his left thumb and was able to practice on a limited basis as of this past Monday. Green Bay predictably held him out of its final two preseason contests, allowing backup QB Malik Willis to get some run with the starters in Saturday's exhibition win against the Seahawks in particular.

There's been no concern expressed about his Week 1 status, with Love fully expected to start in a home game against the Lions.

LaFleur did say Green Bay is considering making some alterations to 7-on-7 drills that would allow Love to participate, so it's possible he gets some team work in, but a timetable for the starting quarterback's full clearance remains undetermined.

  • Could return to practice Monday

    Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Sunday they'll "hopefully get [Love] back in some capacity to practice" this week and will "see how he's doing" Monday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Love underwent surgery to address a ligament injury in his left thumb Tuesday, and he wore a soft cast while not participating in joint practices with the Colts on Thursday. Love did not suit up during Saturday's 22-19 preseason victory over Indianapolis, either. LaFleur added Sunday that the team will "alter some things" to get the quarterback involved during 7-on-7 sessions this week, so it's unclear if/when the team hopes to have him return in full during training camp. His last chance to…read more

  • Wearing cast on left hand

    Love (thumb) is not practicing Thursday and is wearing a soft cast on his left hand, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Love won't practice as he continues to recover from surgery undergone to address a ligament injury in his left thumb, but the Packers still expect him to resume handling reps next weeks. The starting quarterback wasn't expected to suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Colts even if healthy, but it now remains to be seen whether he'll be able to log action in the team's preseason finale against Seattle on Saturday, Aug. 23. Elsewhere on the roster, Jayden Reed (foot) shed his walking…read more

  • Needs procedure on left thumb

    Love is undergoing a procedure for a ligament injury in his left thumb, with the Packers hoping he'll be back at practice next week, Paul Bretl of ESPN LaCrosse 105.5 reports.

    Analysis: Love suffered the injury during Saturday's preseason loss to the Jets, in which he completed one of five passes for seven yards over two drives. He wasn't expected to play in Green Bay's second preseason game anyway, and it sounds like he'll be back in practice well before the start of the regular season. The thumb injury would be a much bigger concern if it impacted his throwing hand. As is, Love doesn't seem to be in much danger of missing Week 1.

  • Starters likely to rest Saturday

    Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Monday he expects Green Bay's starters to rest during Saturday's preseason game against the Colts, but that the plan is subject to change based on the week of practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: LaFleur made clear that he wasn't satisfied with the sloppy cameo Love and the starting offense made during Green Bay's 30-10 preseason loss to the Jets on Saturday, in which the starting QB completed just one of five passes for seven yards, in part due to multiple drops by his pass-catching corps. "I just want to see improvement out there on the practice field," LaFleur said, noting that "if we don't feel great about it, and we feel like we need the work," then the starters could end up…read more

  • Ragged cameo in preseason loss

    Love completed one of five passes for seven yards during the Packers' 30-10 preseason loss to the Jets on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Love was in on Green Bay's first two possessions, but as his final line implies, he couldn't get much going despite having some familiar faces around him at the skill positions. Love threw incomplete to Romeo Doubs on his first two attempts and then failed to connect with Malik Heath on his first throw of the Packers' second drive, but he finally got on the board with a seven-yard strike to rookie first-round pick Matthew Golden.

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that he intends for all four of Green Bay's quarterbacks, including Love, to get "meaningful reps" during Saturday's preseason opener against the Jets, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

    Analysis: Love and the Packers' starters may not play more than a handful of series Saturday, especially if the plan is for all of Malik Willis, Sean Clifford and Taylor Elgersma to get significant playing time, but it will be interesting to see the 26-year-old in action with rookie first-round wideout Matthew Golden, who already seems to have played his way into a starting role alongside Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and TE Tucker Kraft.

    Love said Wednesday that he wants to scramble more this season, rather than settling for check-downs, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.

    Analysis: Love and offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich both are on board with the QB scrambling more often, although Love noted that his lack of rushing last year was partially a product of an MCL sprain and groin injury limiting his mobility for the first half of the season. He ultimately scrambled 12 times on 451 dropbacks (2.7 percent), down from 22 scrambles on 631 dropbacks (3.5 percent) the year before, dropping from 14.5 rushing yards per game and four TDs in 2023 to just 5.5 yards per game and…read more

    Love completed 20 of 33 passes for 212 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Eagles. He added two rushes for 10 yards.

    Analysis: Love was without some of his top pass-catching options for significant portions of the game and was also dealing with a beat-up offensive line. Even with that context, it was a disappointing showing, highlighted by an interception shortly before halftime that denied the Packers a potential scoring opportunity. Love did find some rhythm in the second half, as he completed 11 of his 18 passes for 142 yards, though it wasn't enough to complete the comeback bid. He'll enter the offseason looking to…read more

    Analysis: Love and the Packers couldn't get anything going to begin the game, running five or fewer offensive plays in four of their five possessions in the first half. He managed to turn things around a bit in the final two quarters as the team made a furious comeback, with the highlights being a 35-yard completion down the seam to Tucker Kraft and a three-yard touchdown pass to Malik Heath.

    Analysis: Love kicked off the scoring for the Packers with a short touchdown pass to Dontayvion Wicks on the game's opening drive. The 26-year-old Love wasn't utilized much for the remainder of the contest with Green Bay's ground game hitting pay dirt thrice in the blowout victory. Love was eventually replaced by backup Malik Willis with a little less than six minutes left in the fourth quarter in order to preserve the starter's health ahead of Sunday's road tilt against Minnesota.

    Analysis: Though Love played all 64 of the Packers' offensive snaps in the Week 15 win, he was seen limping late in the game. With the coach downplaying any concern about Love's health, fantasy managers should feel comfortable deploying the quarterback as they normally would heading into a favorable Week 16 matchup with the Saints on Monday night.

    Analysis: After Josh Jacobs ran in a touchdown on the opening drive, Love doubled Green Bay's lead with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs. Love had only one incompletion as the Packers produced points on all four of their first-half drives to take a 20-3 lead into the locker room.

    Analysis: Love averaged an impressive 10.3 yards per attempt, but he recorded his second-fewest number of pass attempts this season against a Lions squad that had forced opponents to the air plenty. With stalwart interior lineman DJ Reader (shoulder) sidelined and fellow defensive tackle Alim McNeill (head) exiting for the Lions early in the contest, the Packers were able to lean on Josh Jacobs on the ground about as much as usual, and Love was also the victim of Detroit's 12-minute-plus…read more

The Packers slowed things down in the final two quarters as they maintained a three-score lead, but Love managed to rack up yardage thanks to 49 and 46-yard completions.

The 26-year-old threw for multiple touchdowns for the first time since Week 7, confirming his improved health following a stretch during which he likely wasn't playing at full strength.

  • Gets back to full practice Thursday

    Love (knee) was a full practice participant Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: This marks the first time Love has been unhindered at practice since spraining the MCL in his left knee Week 1 against the Eagles in Brazil. He missed just two games as a result of the injury, completing 32 of 54 passes for 389 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions in this past Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Vikings. Now that Love seemingly is past the issue, the biggest question mark surrounding the quarterback is who will be available in the skill positions for the Packers on Sunday at…read more

  • Limited Wednesday

    Love (knee) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Matt LaFleur relayed the news to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, while adding that Love is "just getting back in the groove" after returning from a two-game absence to start this past Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Vikings. Love took some time to get going against Minnesota, but he finished 32-for-54 passing for 389 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions. He has two sessions remaining this week in which to log his first full practice since prep for the season opener in Brazil…read more

  • Valiant effort in return

    Love completed 32 of 54 passes for 389 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions and added one rush for six yards in the Packers' 31-29 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.

    Analysis: Love's completion percentage in his return from a two-game absence due to a knee injury ultimately left much to be desired, but the second-half surge he led for the Packers propped up his passing yardage and touchdown numbers significantly. Down 28-7 entering the second half, he couldn't get Green Bay moving much over the first three possessions of the third quarter, but he subsequently helmed a trio of touchdown drives that included a 96-yard march that featured 63 yards' worth of completions…read more

  • Active, starting Sunday

    Love (knee) is listed as active and will start Sunday against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Love is a bit more than three weeks removed from sustaining a Grade 1-to-2 MCL sprain in his left knee in the waning moments of a Week 1 loss to the Eagles in Brazil. He's slowly but surely ramped up his activity level the last two weeks, yet he didn't manage more than a limited practice in advance of Sunday's game. Still, Love has made enough progress in his recovery to take over direction of the Packers offense, while fill-in starter Malik Willis will return to a backup role. According to Tom…read more

    Love (knee) is expected to be active Sunday against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Love was a limited participant all week and looked good in his pre-game warmup against the Titans in Week 3, setting the stage for the franchise signal caller to make his return in Lambeau against a surprisingly fearsome Vikings defense come Sunday. The Packers haven't officially changed the injury designation of Love, but the lack of a practice-squad elevation of Sean Clifford effectively tipped the team's hand on the matter. While Love has looked comfortably mobile in the few glimpses of the…read more

    Love (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Love was a limited participant in each practice this week and now heads into the weekend looking truly questionable ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. He also was listed as questionable the past two games, but for Week 2 he was downgraded to doubtful and for Week 3 there were early reports suggesting he wouldn't play. This time around, it looks like closer to 50/50, with the Packers perhaps inclined to be less cautious than usual on account of the divisional matchup against an undefeated rival.…read more

    Analysis: LaFleur also was non-committal about Love's potential to play Sunday against the Vikings. Once the Packers post their final Week 4 injury report later Friday, Love likely will be listed as questionable, as he was last week. If Love is unable to suit up this weekend, Malik Willis again will be under center for Green Bay.

    Analysis: Love continues to work his way back from the Grade 1-to-2 MCL sprain he sustained in the Sept. 6 loss to the Eagles, and he looks to have a chance at meeting the short end of his projected 3-to-6-week recovery timeline. He's now been listed as a limited participant in six consecutive practices, and while the Packers haven't indicated that Love has experienced any setbacks with his left knee, he may need to turn in a full practice Friday to avoid being viewed as anything more than a game-time…read more

The Packers haven't yet announced whether Love or backup Malik Willis will start Sunday's game against the Vikings, but it's encouraging to see the franchise quarterback progressing as expected.

    Love (knee) is listed as inactive Sunday at Tennessee, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Love seemingly put himself in a position to return after cobbling together three consecutive limited sessions during Week 3 prep, but the Packers will exercise caution and not rush back their franchise quarterback as he recovers from a sprained left MCL that he suffered in the season opener against the Eagles. He'll instead turn his focus to a Week 4 matchup with the Vikings, while Malik Willis will draw his second start in a row Sunday in place of Love.

However, Pelissero reports that while Love is "getting closer" to being able to return, he'll likely be held out for a second straight contest.

He was a limited practice participant Friday, which was the same as the two previous days, after being held out entirely last week ahead of an absence for the eventual win over Indianapolis.

Though Love was initially expected to miss somewhere in the range of 3-to-6 weeks after suffering an MCL sprain late in the Packers' Week 1 loss to the Eagles, he looks like he has a serious chance of making it back after just a one-game absence.

    Love (knee), who was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, could have a chance to play Sunday against the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. "I wouldn't be surprised if he plays this week," one source tells Schefter. "It's definitely day-by-day like [Love] said, and 50-50 at best right now."

    Analysis: For his part, Love was non-committal about being ready to play Sunday in Tennessee, despite taking a major step forward in his recovery from an MCL sprain of his left knee by taking snaps and throwing during on-field work Wednesday. After he was diagnosed with the knee injury following his departure in the final minute of the Packers' Week 1 loss to the Eagles back on Sept. 6, Love was projected to miss 3-to-4 weeks, but he looks to be trending toward the short end of that recovery timeline, if…read more

    Analysis: After going through warmups Wednesday, Love proceeded to take snaps and throw during on-field work, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Head coach Matt LaFleur then revealed that Love was a limited participant in the practice session, and the quarterback spoke to the media not longer after.

That's not to say he'll be listed as anything more than a limited participant on the Packers' first Week 3 injury report, but it's a sign of progress as he continues to recover from the MCL sprain that he sustained in his left knee in the season-opening loss to the Eagles in Brazil.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network even reported Sunday morning that Love is aiming to return Week 5, when the Packers take on the Rams on the road on Sunday, Oct. 6.

However, he didn't practice at all during the week, and it seems highly unlikely that he'll play Sunday given that the Packers downgraded his status Saturday.

    Analysis: Ian Rapoport of NFL Network has reported that Love is dealing with an MCL sprain, although a diagnosis has yet to be confirmed by the team. Multiple reports have already suggested that Love has avoided an ACL tear, and while that's encouraging news with regard to his availability later in the season, the signal-caller still looks set to miss some duration of time.

    Analysis: The Packers seemingly aren't planning on offering any clarity on Love's injury until he undergoes further testing.

  • Practicing following monster deal

    Love, who signed a four-year extension worth $220 million and $155 in full guarantees Friday, is practicing with the team Saturday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Love had been doing a hold-in of sorts until he had officially signed the much-rumored mega extension to begin training camp, and as expected the new highest paid player in the NFL took to the field Saturday alongside his quartet of capable pass catchers, including Jayden Reed (toe), who was activated off the non-football injury list earlier this week. Love is expected to build off the scintillating end to his lone season as a starter, in which he tallied 2,905 passing yards and a remarkable…read more

  • Inks extension

    Love and the Packers have agreed to terms on a four-year extension worth $220 million, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The deal will make Love the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history after just one full season as Green Bay's starting quarterback. It also includes a record $75 million signing bonus, plus $155 million in new full guarantees, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The team's star signal-caller has been at training camp but sitting out of practice until a deal was finalized. He will now presumably return to the field and continue building a rapport with his young and increasingly deep wide receiver unit.

  • Won't practice without extension

    Love's representatives have informed the Packers that he won't practice until he has a contract extension, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Packers GM Brian Gutekunst revealed the information Monday and said he's optimistic an extension will get done soon. In the meantime, Love is present for training camp and taking part in meetings, which suggests his absence from practice is a matter of caution more so than reflecting any frustration with ongoing negotiations. It sounds like the Packers expect to complete a deal and get Love back on the practice field soon.

  • Extension could come before camp

    Love said Tuesday that he's optimistic he and the Packers will agree to terms on a new contract extension before the start of training camp July 22, Matt Schneidmanof The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Love, who has participated in the entirety of Green Bay's offseason program, didn't go into detail about his ongoing contract negotiations, but he did answer "yes" when asked whether he felt a deal would be finalized before camp. The 2020 first-round pick is coming off a breakout 2023 campaign and entering the final year of his current contract, and while his attendance has been crucial for a young offense now working to take the next step, it's possible that Love would refuse to suit up for…read more

  • Running back room revamped

    Love is set to enter the 2024 season with a new-look backfield led by Josh Jacobs, who is slated to sign a four-year contract worth up to $48 million with the Packers, while Aaron Jones is moving on to Minnesota on a one-year contract, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: Green Bay replacing Jones with Jacobs isn't the only piece of notable backfield news, as AJ Dillon is currently a free agent and the team's only depth now consists of Emanuel Wilson and Ellis Merriweather. Jacobs is coming off a down season, with just 805 yards on 233 carries (six touchdowns), but he's only one year removed from having led the NFL with 1,653 yards rushing on 340 carries (12 scores). Perhaps most importantly, Jacobs does boast a true three-down skillset, making him an ideal fit…read more

    Love completed 21 of 34 passes for 194 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Saturday's 24-21 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Love came into the contest on an excellent run, having thrown for multiple touchdowns in each of his last five games while also topping 250 yards four times in that span. He continued his multi-touchdown streak with tosses of 19 and two yards into the end zone, and he also delivered three completions of greater than 20 yards. However, he was held to only 5.7 yards per attempt and missed several throws, in part due to rainy conditions and in part caused by a tough matchup. Love also forced an…read more

    Love completed 16 of 21 passes for 272 yards and three touchdowns while rushing once for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 48-32 wild-card round win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Love was sensational in his playoff debut, though the Cowboys helped him out with numerous defensive breakdowns. After a pair of short Aaron Jones touchdown runs, Love extended Green Bay's lead to 20-0 with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Dontayvion Wicks in the second quarter. Jones and Love each added a touchdown in the third quarter, with Love's coming on a 38-yard pass to a wide open Luke Musgrave without a defender in sight.

    Love completed 27 of 32 passes for 316 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Bears. He carried three times for minus-1 yard and lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Love and the Packers' offense got off to a relatively slow start in the must-win contest, but he led a few key drives to clinch a playoff berth. The first was an 11-play, 92-yard possession that began early in the second quarter, which was capped by a 10-yard pass to Dontayvion Wicks.

    Analysis: Love did not do a lot in the passing yardage department, but he did tally three scores for the third time in five games and did not turn the ball over. His next matchup will come against a Vikings defense that limited Love to 229 yards and one touchdown in Week 8 and limited opposing quarterbacks to just three total touchdowns over its last four contests.

    Analysis: Love's passing yardage tally was his third-highest of the season, but it came during a game in which the Packers increasingly found themselves trailing. The third-year quarterback spread the ball around to eight different pass catchers and targeted nine overall, with four players recording at least four receptions. Love's fumble came on a sack with 4:28 remaining at Green Bay's own 49-yard line, snuffing out any final hopes of a comeback. Love now has at least 267 passing yards and multiple…read more

    Love completed 25 of 39 passes for 218 yards with one touchdown and one interception and added two carries for two yards in the Packers' 24-22 loss to the Giants on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Love's numbers have to be considered a disappointment under any circumstance, as the matchup appeared to be a favorable one coming in and both the quarterback and the Packers as a whole had plenty of momentum. The fourth-year pro did appear to put Green Bay in excellent position for a win with a six-yard touchdown pass to Malik Heath with 1:33 remaining, but Tommy DeVito was able to lead the Giants on a 57-yard game-winning march to secure the victory.

    Analysis: The first-year starting QB shone in the Thanksgiving game spotlight, as Love tossed red-zone TDs to Jayden Reed and Tucker Kraft in the first quarter as the Packers raced out to a 14-6 lead. Love then hit Christian Watson for his final score late in the third quarter, tying his career high for touchdown passes and extending his streak of games with multiple TD passes to three.

    Analysis: Love has shown improvement over his last three games, avoiding any turnovers twice while also being a bigger threat passing downfield. In fact, Sunday saw Love set a career high in passing yards, with his final throw being a 24-yarder to Romeo Doubs for the game-winning touchdown. Coming off a positive Week 11 performance, Love now faces a quick turnaround ahead of a tough divisional game in Detroit on Thanksgiving.

After opening the game with an eight-yard touchdown to Romeo Doubs, he found Jayden Reed for a 35-yard score during the second quarter.

    Analysis: The fact that the young QB led the Packers in rushing tells the story of how dysfunctional the offense was as a whole, but Love salvaged his day somewhat with a one-yard TD pass to Romeo Doubs late in the fourth quarter. Over the last five games, Love's posted a 5:8 TD:INT with a 58.2 percent completion rate and a 6.0 YPA, and until Green Bay can re-establish an effective running game, he could continue to struggle to find easy completions.

    Analysis: Love hardly threw downfield during the first half, when the Packers' offense endured yet another sluggish start, scoring no points. The quarterback found more success afterward, though, throwing a 16-yard touchdown to Romeo Doubs and four-yard score to Jayden Reed. While the latter play helped put Green Bay in the lead temporarily, Love subsequently threw an interception on his final pass for the second straight contest, resulting in consecutive failed attempts at game-winning drives.

    Analysis: The third-year pro frequently looked like a rookie Monday night while once again struggling with his accuracy. Love's three picks matched his season total coming into the night, and the final one came in the end zone on a play where Christian Watson appeared to initially be open for what would have potentially been a game-winning touchdown.

He also committed a fumble that was recovered by Green Bay and threw a two-point conversion pass.

The 24-year-old quarterback looked decent in his limited playing time here, but the jury's still out over how capably Love will be able to step into the starting role vacated by Packers legend Aaron Rodgers.

    Analysis: With just over a minute to go and the Packers trailing by 16 points, Love replaced starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers and handled the final drive of the game. Love completed all four passes he got off, with the lone misfire coming on a spiked ball to stop the clock. The efficient outing bodes well for Love's confidence but does nothing to change his status as the backup behind Rodgers.

  • Plays into second half

    Love completed 16 of 26 passes for 148 yards and an interception in Thursday's preseason game against Kansas City. He also gained five yards on his only carry.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old got the start at quarterback for the Packers and played into the second half, and while Love's numbers weren't great he did did engineer two scoring drives, leading to all 10 of Green Bay's points on the night. The 2020 first-round pick will back up Aaron Rodgers once again this season, a role which afforded him only one start and 62 total pass attempts last year.

  • Inconsistent preseason performance

    Love completed 12 of 24 passes for 113 yards and one touchdown in Friday's 20-10 preseason win over the Saints. He also added 13 rushing yards.

    Analysis: Love got the start with Aaron Rodgers resting. He showed glimpses of promise, particularly on a 14-play drive that resulted in a touchdown. During that possession, Love connected with four different receivers and pushed the ball down the field for gains of 17 and 15 yards. On the other hand, he completed only 50.0 percent of his passes, though a few of the misfires were drops. Once the regular season rolls around, Love will naturally be locked into the backup role behind Aaron Rodgers.

  • Starting Friday

    Love will start Friday's preseason contest against the Saints, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: With Aaron Rodgers in street clothes for a second straight exhibition, Love will get a chance to direct the offense. It'll be interesting to see if he logs a full half like he did last Friday in San Francisco, but whenever he departs, he'll hand things over to Danny Etling.

  • Mixed bag in preseason opener

    Love completed 13 of 24 passes for 176 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions and added 24 yards on four rushes in the Packers' 28-21 preseason loss to the 49ers on Friday night.

    Analysis: With Aaron Rodgers sitting out, it was Love who started the game and played the entirety of the first half. The 2020 first-round pick's night got off to an encouraging start when he connected with Romeo Doubs for a nifty 33-yard touchdown pass down the right sideline to answer an early 49ers field goal. However, Love then short-circuited each of the Packers' next three possessions with interceptions, all which came in San Francisco territory. Love did finish the night on a positive note when he…read more

It remains to be seen how many drives the 2020 first-round pick actually will lead Friday, but whatever snaps Love does take will help prepare him for handling backup duties this season.

  • Set for backup duties again

    Love's tentative path to the starting role with Green Bay in 2022 vanished Tuesday, after incumbent Aaron Rodgers agreed to terms on a four-year, $200 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 2020 first-round pick's prospects for his third year in Green Bay hinged entirely on Rodgers' decision, and with the back-to-back MVP now sticking around for the foreseeable future, Love's best-case scenario with the team that drafted him appears to be backup duties. On the other hand, the Packers still have significant salary cap issues to address, and Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Love could now be a legitimate trade chip.

  • Six appearances in second season

    Love appeared in six games during the 2021 season and completed 36 of 62 passes for 411 yards. He registered two touchdowns and three interceptions and also ran 12 times for 27 yards.

    Analysis: Of Love's six appearances, two were simply to kneel out the clock, and two others were brief cameos late in games when the outcome already had been determined. He did play one full game against the Chiefs in Week 9 and played the second half of the Packers' Week 18 loss to the Lions, and he was unspectacular in those contests, completing just 56.9 percent of his passes and averaging 6.4 YPA.

  • Struggles in extended appearance

    Love completed 10 of 17 pass attempts for 134 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions against Detroit on Sunday.

    Analysis: Love played off the bench and mostly with backups after Aaron Rodgers played with most of the starters. Love saw a lot of pressure and arguably was at minimal fault for one of his interceptions, which was tipped at the line and then again by his wide receiver before the defense snagged it, but his box score also benefited from a lot of yards after the catch on a 62-yard touchdown pass to tight end Josiah Deguara. It's disappointing that Love didn't produce any better, even if he was playing…read more

    Love completed two of four passes for 19 yards in Sunday's 37-10 victory over the Vikings. He also added two rushing attempts for nine yards.

    Analysis: After making his first career start Week 9, Love took the field for only one snap over the Packers' next six games. However, he got a chance to play a full drive Sunday with the Packers well ahead on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter.

    Analysis: Love tested positive for the virus on Dec. 6, and even though he was vaccinated, he wasn't able to rid himself of symptoms and test negative twice 24 hours apart until more than a week later. He thus yielded backup quarterback duties to Kurt Benkert this past Sunday against the Bears, but the latter reverted to the practice squad Monday, signaling Love's impending return to the active roster.

Love will be eligible to rejoin the Packers as soon as he's showing diminished symptoms of the virus and tests negative on two occasions at least 24 hours apart, giving him a chance to make it back as the backup to Aaron Rodgers for Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Love is set to resume backup duties for the Packers in Sunday's game against the Seahawks after the team reinstated starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, the Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: After Rodgers' surprise placement on the list last week, Love picked up his first NFL start and generally struggled to move the chains in the Packers' 13-7 loss to the Chiefs, finishing with 19 completions on 34 attempts for 190 yards, a touchdown and an interception while adding 23 yards on the ground.

    Love completed 19 of 34 pass attempts for 190 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Kansas City on Sunday.

    Analysis: Love also ran for 23 yards on five carries. He seemed to struggle to identify pressure pre-snap and often made errant throws when the subsequent post-snap pressure caught him by surprise, but at times when he had blocking he made a handful of encouraging throws. The interception was nearly a completed pass to Davante Adams, but the throw was slightly off, and corner L'Jarius Sneed made a great play to snatch it from Adams.

    Analysis: After the Packers were forced to get by without All-Pro wideout Davante Adams in the Week 8 win over the Cardinals following his own positive COVID-19 test, Green Bay will face an even greater challenge Week 9 sans the reigning NFL MVP. Love, the Packers' 2020 first-round pick, has yet to see any extended regular-season action during his career, with his lone two appearances coming in garbage time of a Week 1 blowout loss to the Saints and for a trio of kneeldowns in a Week 2 win over the…read more

    Analysis: The 2020 first-round pick saw the first regular-season action of his career under less-than-ideal circumstances, but Love acquitted himself credibly at the end of the blowout. There's no quarterback controversy in Green Bay despite Rodgers' stunningly bad performance Sunday, but if the veteran does continue to struggle, Love could creep onto the fantasy radar in deep 2QB leagues.

    Love completed 12 of 18 passes for 149 yards and an interception in Saturday's preseason game against the Bills.

The Packers were stuffed at the goal line on fourth down on their opening drive, and Mason Crosby missed a 28-yard FG attempt on the second series. In between, Love spoiled an otherwise pretty drive when he heaved the ball into the end zone for an easy interception on 1st-and-10.

    Analysis: Kurt Benkert will enter the game after Love, while fourth-string QB Jacob Dolegala wasn't mentioned. Aaron Rodgers, of course, will be held out, finishing up the preseason without making an appearance. Love injured his shoulder in the preseason opener and missed the second contest, but he seems to be on track for Saturday's exhibition after his return to practice on a limited basis at the beginning of the week.

The 2020 first-round pick appears to be making solid progress in his recovery from a right shoulder injury picked up during the Packers' preseason opener.

    Analysis: Love was held out of Saturday's contest against the Jets with the injury, but it sounds as if he's nearing a return. Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that when Love is cleared from the injury, he'll be the team's backup quarterback. Love played fairly well in the team's first preseason contest -- he completed 12 of 17 pass attempts for 122 yards and a touchdown -- and it would benefit him to get more reps in game action before the regular season begins.
