In Week 1, the Packers were on the road for a neutral site game vs. the Eagles in São Paulo, Brazil. Green Bay lost 34-29 in a wire-to-wire matchup that went down to the final play. However, the Packers lost more than just a game in Week 1. Their franchise QB Jordan Love suffered a knee injury on the second to last play of the game.
At the time, it was reported that the 25-year-old would miss roughly three-to-six weeks with the knee injury. Green Bay was lucky that Love didn’t suffer anything significant.

Love’s knee injury might not have been as serious as it seemed in the first place. A great sign for the Packers.

One source told Adam Schefter that it’s “50-50 at best” for Love to play on Sunday vs. Tennessee. This is incredible news for the Packers who were able to bounce back with a win in Week 2. Even if Love doesn’t play in Week 3, he’s in a position to make his return in Week 4 vs. Minnesota. Sooner than the Packers anticipated. In Week 1 vs. the Eagles, Love was 17-35 for 260 passing yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. Green Bay is on the road in Week 3 to
