Packers News: Star QB Jordan Love Surprisingly Returns to Practice Ahead of Week 3 Matchup

Green Bay Packers star quarterback Jordan Love was spotted at Wednesday's practice ahead of their Week 3 matchup.

Love returned to practice and was seen stretching and doing all the early drills with a sleeve on his left leg. This was the first time he had been seen practicing since his Week 1 left leg injury.

Love is listed as questionable for the Packers' Week 3 contest against the Tennessee Titans. The 25-year-old is recovering from the MCL sprain that he sustained in his left knee in the season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil.

Love was expected to miss multiple weeks with his knee injury, but his return to practice ahead of Week 3 changes things for the Packers. It's not a guarantee that Love will play this Sunday, but it is a good sign that he is practicing, especially after his gruesome injury.

If Love makes it through Wednesday's practice and the rest of the week without incident, they may not have to adjust much at all as they head to Nashville to take on the Titans.

In the meantime, the Packers will do their best to stay afloat, with backup quarterback Malik Willis leading the way. The Packers captured their first win of the season last week in their Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Love isn't the only Packer dealing with injury. Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed, offensive guard Jordan Morgan, and offensive guard Elgton Jenkins went through stretches but stayed inside.

The former first-round draft pick was solid in his 2024 season debut, completing 17 of 34 passes for 260 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. In late July, the Packers signed Love to a four-year, $220 million contract extension that, at the time, put him in a tie for the highest-paid player in NFL history.

This move was a major one by the Packers. Although Love showed he could be an elite quarterback in the league, the 2023 season was essentially his rookie season. Prior to the 2023 season, he had been the backup to future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers, so giving him that type of money is a considerable risk.

So far, he's shown that he is worth the money. In 28 career games, Love has completed 63.1 percent of his passes for 5,025 yards, 37 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions with a 9-10 record as a starter.

It's unclear when Love will be back under center in Week 3, but all signs point to sooner rather than later.
