Jordan Love injury update: Adam Schefter reveals Packers QB's status vs. Vikings

Jordan Love seems to be on-track to return in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings, a move that would provide the Green Bay Packers with a huge boost ahead of an all-important NFC North clash.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Love is “expected to be active” on Sunday: “After being inactive the past two games, Packers QB Jordan Love is expected to be active Sunday vs. the Vikings, per league sources,” Schefter posted on X.

With his return seemingly confirmed, it should come as no surprise, as Love has practiced every day this week, although it was as a limited participant due to his MCL strain. He suffered the injury in the Packers’ Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Before leaving the game, Love completed 17-of-34 pass attempts for 260 yards and two touchdowns while throwing one interception.

Since Love’s injury, the Packers are 2-0. Malik Willis has started both games in Love’s place. In his two starts, Willis has tallied 324 passing yards and two scores while throwing zero interceptions. If Love is not able to play on Sunday against the Vikings, the Packers would feel comfortable with Willis behind center, but that doesn’t look like it’ll be the case.

Since suffering his injury, Love had working as hard as he can to return to the field. Earlier this week, the fifth-year QB pulled back the curtain on his status.

“We’re building it up for sure,” Love said of his workload. “I’m trying to push it and I’ve been trying to get back as fast as I can no matter who the opponent was.”

Alas, after missing the last two games, Jordan Love will likely be under center once again for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon. Their game against the undefeated Minnesota Vikings will air at 1 p.m. on CBS.
