Jordan Love Returns From Shoulder Scare, Lifts Packers Over Giants 27-20 as Josh Jacobs Exits With Knee Injury

Postgame assessments point to a manageable left shoulder for Love with Jacobs’ knee creating short-term uncertainty.

Overview

  • Love left in the first quarter after a hit on a 4-yard scramble by Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles and was listed as questionable with a left (non-throwing) shoulder injury before returning early in the second quarter.
  • He threw two touchdowns, including a 17-yard go-ahead pass to Christian Watson with 4:02 remaining, and finished 13-of-24 for 174 yards with no turnovers.
  • Love said he underwent an X-ray and wore bracing on the shoulder, describing the pain as manageable with plans for re-evaluation.
  • Starting running back Josh Jacobs exited with a knee injury and was ruled out after halftime, as Emanuel Wilson took over and scored on an 11-yard run.
  • Green Bay snapped a two-game skid to move to 6-3-1, overcoming two missed extra points and sealing the win with an Evan Williams interception in the end zone and a final-play strip-sack.
