The Inexperienced Bay Packers clinched a playoff spot on Christmas when the Detroit Lions misplaced to the Minnesota Vikings. Whereas the Packers stay alive within the race with the Chicago Bears for the NFC North title, the Packers must win their remaining two video games to have an opportunity on the division crown.
And that first recreation will come with out their beginning quarterback.
Jordan Love, who left Inexperienced Bay’s Week 17 loss to the Bears with a concussion, was dominated out by the workforce on Friday. Whereas head coach Matt LaFleur was optimistic earlier within the week that Love would have the ability to play, the workforce downgraded him to out on Friday. Along with the concussion, Love can also be coping with a shoulder damage.
You’ll be able to see the hit that knocked Love out of the Week 16 assembly with Chicago right here:
Love isn’t the one Packers quarterback coping with an damage. Backup Malik Willis, who changed Love in Week 16, suffered a shoulder damage in that recreation. Inexperienced Bay listed Willis (who can also be coping with an sickness) as questionable earlier within the week, and he didn’t apply on Wednesday as a result of sickness.
Nevertheless, Love advised reporters on Tuesday that he expects to be prepared for the sport towards Baltimore.
Now, he’s in line for the beginning.
If Willis can not go, Inexperienced Bay will doubtless flip to Clayton Tune. LaFleur had excessive reward for the reserve quarterback earlier this week.
“He’s been doing a fantastic job,” LaFleur stated. “He’s been touring with us on the highway. He’s gotta fairly good grasp. He’s a wise man. He assaults it the correct manner. He spends a ton of time with Sean Mannion post-practice attempting to get additional reps, attempting to work on his fundamentals and methods.”
