The Green Bay Packers fell to 9-5-1 on the season after suffering a wild 22-16 overtime loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 16. Green Bay had to play much of that contest without Jordan Love, as he was knocked out of the game with a head injury. On Sunday, Matt LaFleur shared an inspiring update about the star quarterback.
LaFleur confirmed that Love is currently in concussion protocol, according to Packers reporter Weston Hodkiewicz. The 46-year-old head coach claimed that he has not yet spoken with his quarterback, but did admit that Love appears to be doing better on Sunday.
“Matt LaFleur confirms Jordan Love is in the concussion protocol: ‘That’s a process that takes multiple days to get through.’ LaFleur hasn’t talked to Love today, but ‘sounds like he’s doing better’ based on conversations he’s had.”
When Love, who is 27 years old, left the game, the Packers turned to backup Malik Willis. The former third-round pick showed flashes of potential, as he kept Green Bay in the contest against a tough Bears team. Jordan Love had recorded 77 passing yards while completing 61.5% of his pass attempts. Meanwhile, Willis finished with 121 passing yards, 44 rushing yards, and a touchdown pass with a 81.8% completion percentage.
This story is currently developing, and more information will be published soon.
