Mon Sep 23 21:25:05 UTC 2024: ## Packers QB Jordan Love Returns to Practice, Aims for Vikings Game
**Green Bay, WI** – Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love, sidelined for the last two games due to an MCL sprain, is making progress and could return to the field soon. Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed on Monday that Love will be a limited participant in practice this week.
“He’ll be limited, and then we’ll work it day by day,” LaFleur said. “He’s working through it, he’s doing everything in his power, he wants to be out there. We want him out there.”
Love sustained the knee injury in the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. While initially expected to miss at least three weeks, he returned to practice last week and expressed feeling significantly better.
In Love’s absence, newly acquired quarterback Malik Willis stepped up, leading the Packers to two consecutive wins over the Colts and Titans. Willis, traded from the Tennessee Titans, impressed with 75.8% completion percentage, 324 passing yards, two touchdown passes, and an additional 114 rushing yards and a touchdown.
However, LaFleur has made it clear that Love will be the starter once he is cleared to play. Love, who signed a four-year, $220 million extension this offseason, had a strong performance in his first season as a full-time starter, posting 4,159 passing yards, 32 touchdowns, and a 96.1 passer rating.
The Packers (2-1) will face the undefeated Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in a crucial NFC North matchup. With Love potentially back in the lineup, the Packers are hoping to capitalize on their recent momentum and secure a victory.
