The Green Bay Packers are hoping to pick up a big win against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but they will have to do so without staring quarterback Jordan Love. Love exited the game with an apparent injury, and now Malik Willis is in.
Jordan Love went down and was slow to get up after this play.

The above video showcases Love being hit from behind by Jaguars defender Travon Walker. Though it appeared to be a minimal shoulder hit from Walker, Love appeared to be hurt by the shove. He immediately collapsed to the turf and appeared to be in pain.
There is no telling what occurred from that hit, but it could be that Love was suffering from some other injury that may have been aggravated. Earlier in the game, Love was checked out in the blue medical tent, before entering back into the game.
There could be some issue that Love is dealing with that may have emerged again when he was shoved by Walker. This is just speculation, but it's a bit concerning that Love hit the ground after what appeared to be a minimal shove.
For now, Love is going to remain out of the game while Willis takes over. Hopefully, Love's injury is nothing too serious. Still, the video appears to indicate that the Packers quarterback could be dealing with some very significant.
According to a new update from the Packers, Love is now questionable to return with a groin injury.

Despite the video not appearing to show the makings of a groin injury, Love might have tweaked the area when he was shoved by Walker. He might also have been checked out earlier in the game before for this same injury, and the shove could have aggravated the ailment.
Again, this is just speculation. For now, Love will officially be questionable to return. Should he not suit up for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, he would end the day with 14-for-22 passes for 196 yards and one interception.
At the time of this writing, the Packers are currently trailing the Jaguars 13-17. The hope is that Willis can string together some good offense to get things moving again.
Should the Packers lose, they will fall to 5-3 on the season, and be behind both the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions. The entire NFC North is very competitive, and the Packers can't afford to fall too far behind their divisional rivals.
