Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images The Green Bay Packers downgraded quarterback Jordan Love from questionable to doubtful on Saturday for their home opener Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
Love suffered a sprained MCL in his left knee in Green Bay's Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil and did not practice this week. Yet on Friday, he was listed as questionable for Sunday's game despite not being medically cleared to play, according to coach Matt LaFleur.
The Packers haven't ruled him out nor have they placed Love on injured reserve, which would require he miss at least four games.
LaFleur had previously said the Packers would not place Love on injured reserve as they went "day to day" with his evaluation.
Love, 25, was helped off the field with six seconds left in the 34-29 loss to the Eagles Sept. 6. He went 17-for-34 passing for 260 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
Malik Willis was elevated to the starting role until Love's return. Willis, 25, was acquired from the Tennessee Titans on Aug. 26 for a 2025 seventh-round draft pick and was the No. 2 quarterback behind Love entering Week 1.
Green Bay elevated quarterback Sean Clifford from the practice squad on Saturday to be Willis' backup if Love is ruled out.
