Jordan Love is getting closer to a return to action.
Whether that happens on Sunday remains to be seen.
The Green Bay Packers’ star quarterback was listed as questionable by the team on Friday for Sunday’s road game against the Tennessee Titans.
Love injured his left medial collateral ligament late in a season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil, and missed last week’s win against the Indianapolis Colts. Malik Willis started against Indy.
Love has been on the practice field all three days this week.
On the play that caused the injury, Love was being pressured by Jalen Carter and Josh Sweat as he threw a backward pass to Josh Jacobs. Carter was lying down and had a hold of Love’s left leg when Sweat pushed the quarterback to the ground.
If Love isn’t able to play Sunday, Willis will take the field to face his former team. The Packers acquired Willis from Tennessee (0-2) for a 2025 seventh-round draft pick in a trade that was announced Aug. 27.
Willis went 12 of 14 for 122 yards with his first career touchdown pass and no turnovers against Indianapolis, while also running for 41 yards on six carries as the Packers used a run-heavy approach in Love’s absence.
The Packers ran 53 times for 261 yards, getting their highest output in rushing yards since 2003 and their largest total in carries since 1978.
