Jordan Love Playing Through Left Shoulder Injury as Packers Adjust Plan for Lions

Green Bay is scaling back passing to limit hits ahead of the Thanksgiving game in Detroit.

Overview

  • Love confirmed his left, non-throwing shoulder is injured but said it should not limit his effectiveness and that he will play through it.
  • He suffered the separated shoulder/AC joint sprain on a Week 11 hit against the Giants, briefly giving way to Malik Willis before returning to finish the win.
  • Against the Vikings in Week 12, the Packers leaned on the run by design, holding Love to season lows in attempts and yards and having him use right-hand-only handoffs.
  • Matt LaFleur praised Love’s toughness and cautioned the offense to prevent free rushers and mental errors after he was "holding my breath" on some hits.
  • Green Bay continues undisclosed protective steps as injuries to Tucker Kraft and Elgton Jenkins reshape the offense, with Christian Watson back and Jayden Reed in a practice window.
