Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love limped off the field with assistance after being injured in the final seconds of their 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday night.
The injury came just after Love had thrown a 33-yard completion to Jayden Reed to get the Packers near midfield. On the next play, Love faced major pressure from Jalen Carter and Josh Sweat as he threw a backward pass to Josh Jacobs .
Carter was lying down and had hold of Love’s left leg when Sweat pushed the quarterback to the ground.
The Packers now anxiously await word on the severity of his injury.
“We know what kind of guy he is, how he approaches everything,” wide receiver Christian Watson said. “Whatever it is, I know he’s going to get through it. We’re going to get through it.”
Love’s emergence was the chief reason why the Packers entered the season believing they had legitimate Super Bowl aspirations.
“That’s the franchise right there,” defensive lineman Kenny Clark said. “Hopefully, he can be back next week and he can be all right.”
