SALT LAKE CITY – Former Utah State quarterback Jordan Love was originally expected to miss 3 to 6 weeks with a knee injury but the Packers listed him as questionable for week two.
But, after less than a week, Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur said that Love has progressed well and he is questionable to suit up for the Colts game.

However, Love did not participate in practice at all this week and it’s unlikely that he went from being unable to practice to ready for a game in one day.
Regardless, his game status is a good sign for Packers fans. He may be doubtful for week two but all signs point toward him returning either before or right at three weeks.
Backup QB Malik Willis will likely lead the Packers’ offense until Love’s return.
The next six weeks of their schedule look like this:
- vs. Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, September 15
- @ Tennessee Titans on Sunday, September 22
- vs. Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, September 29
- @ Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, October 6
- vs. Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, October 13
- vs. Houston Texans on Sunday, October 20
About Jordan Love
Before his time in the league, the Bakersfield, California native played at USU from 2016-19. During his time with the Aggies, Love threw for 8,600 yards, 60 touchdowns, and 29 interceptions with a completion rate of 61 percent.
In 2020, the Packers traded up to select Love with the No. 26 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
During his rookie campaign, the former USU standout was inactive for each of Green Bay’s games.
Love saw limited action in his second and third seasons with the Packers and continued to serve as the backup to four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers. Following the 2022 season, the Packers traded Rodgers to the New York Jets. The Rodgers trade paved the way for Love to be Green Bay’s QB1 in 2023.
