The Packers are holding out hope.
Despite Jordan Love not being able to practice at all this week, the team is listing their starting quarterback as questionable to play in Green Bay’s Week 2 showdown against the Colts.
Love sprained his MCL last week in the team’s 34-29 season-opening loss to the Eagles , and while the Packers are appearing to give him a shot at playing this weekend, the knee ailment had been expected to be a multi-week injury .
“He’s doing good,” Packers head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters on Friday. “He’s got a great attitude and is working hard and getting better every day.”
The short-term fantasy football options to replace Jordan Love
The quarterback, trying to lead a comeback drive on the final series of last Friday’s game in Brazil, was taken down hard on a lateral attempt, knocking him out of the game for the final few plays, with Malik Willis replacing him.
Love, who turns 26 in November, sat behind current Jets QB Aaron Rodgers for three seasons before finally getting a chance to start last season.
