Packers QB Jordan Love suffers groin injury in win over Jaguars Oct 27, 2024

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love did not return to Sunday’s 30-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars after exiting early in the second half with a groin injury.

Love, who missed two games with this season with a knee sprain, seemed to be favoring his left leg all afternoon before leaving the game midway through the Packers’ opening drive of the second half.

“Obviously high level of concern,” Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said after the game in regards to Love’s injury, per ESPN.com.

“I think everybody could see him struggling to move around, and I just got to a point where we didn’t, he didn’t feel like he could protect himself.”

NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported on Sunday the organization is optimistic that Love avoided a long-term injury, and he will under further testing on Monday.

Malik Willis finished the three-and-out drive as Love stood from the sideline. The Packers were down, 13-10, at the time of Love’s exit.

As he did in two games in relief of Love earlier this season, Willis acquitted himself well and led Green Bay to a last-second win. Willis went 4-of-5 passing for 56 yards, including a 51-yard strike to Jayden Reed to set up the game-winning field goal.

Love completed 14 of 22 passes for 196 yards and one interception before leaving Sunday’s game.

The Packers (6-2) host the Detroit Lions (6-1) next Sunday in a pivotal NFC North showdown.
