Key injury news on Packers’ Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs emerges before their next matchup.
As the Green Bay Packers gear up for their upcoming matchup against the Detroit Lions, they are optimistic about the availability of key players Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs, who are expected to play despite injury concerns.
According to Adam Schefter on X, formerly Twitter: “Packers QB Jordan Love, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a groin injury, is expected to start vs. the Lions.
Packers RB Josh Jacobs, listed as questionable for Sunday due to an ankle injury, is expected to play vs. Lions. Rain is in forecast.”
Love, who has been managing a groin injury, is set to lead the Packers on Sunday.
He sustained the injury during last week’s close win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, which caused him to miss practice on Wednesday and participate only on a limited basis afterward.
Despite the setback, the 26-year-old quarterback, who recently celebrated his birthday, is prepared to resume his role as the starter.
Across six starts this season, he has thrown for 1,547 yards, 15 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Before his injury, Love completed 14 of 22 passes for 196 yards, though he also threw an interception.
Backup Malik Willis stepped in during the third quarter, impressively adding 56 yards and a touchdown on 4 of 5 passing to help secure the team’s fourth straight win.
Meanwhile, running back Josh Jacobs is expected to play despite dealing with an ankle injury.
Jacobs has been a key force in the Packers’ rushing game, leading with 667 yards on 145 carries, averaging 83.4 yards per game, and scoring three touchdowns this season.
His impact extends to the passing game, as he has also recorded 17 receptions for 115 yards and one touchdown.
