Jordan Love injury: Packers QB strains groin vs. Jaguars; has a chance to play vs. Lions in Week 9, per report

Jordan Love made one major comeback from injury earlier this NFL season, returning from an MCL sprain after a two-game absence. Now the Green Bay Packers quarterback is battling a new injury, leaving Sunday’s 30-27 Week 8 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars after tweaking his groin. He was ruled questionable to return but did not take another snap after leaving in the third quarter.

“Obviously, [we have] a high level of concern,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters of Love’s condition after the game. “I think everybody could see him struggling to move around. It got to a point where we didn’t feel like, and he didn’t feel like, he could protect himself.”

Love reportedly underwent an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, and it came back showing he has a strained groin and nothing more, per NFL Media . That means he will be day to day and has a chance to start on Sunday when the 6-1 Detroit Lions comes to Lambeau Field to face the 6-2 Packers with first place in the NFC North on the line, per NFL Media .
