Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that quarterback Jordan Love will not be placed on injured reserve following his left MCL injury, indicating a potentially shorter recovery time. Love sustained the injury during the final moments of the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, which the Packers lost 34-29. In his absence, the team plans to start Malik Willis, whom they acquired from the Tennessee Titans, with Sean Clifford as the backup if Love is not cleared to play. LaFleur expressed optimism about Love's recovery, stating he is working hard to return, but emphasized the importance of ensuring Love's safety. Willis will be making his start just 20 days after joining the team, having previously played three games for the Titans in 2022. The Packers have no plans to sign an additional veteran quarterback, relying instead on their current roster.
