Overview
- Love confirmed he is playing through a left, non-throwing shoulder injury sustained in Week 11 against the Giants, when he briefly exited before returning.
- After practicing fully, he is expected to start in Detroit on a short week, with the team listing the shoulder on recent injury reports but not downgrading his status.
- The Packers curbed his exposure versus Minnesota with a run-heavy plan and just 21 pass attempts, and Love executed all handoffs with his right hand.
- Coach Matt LaFleur praised Love’s toughness and urged the offense to clean up protection after allowing free rushers, saying they must keep the quarterback out of harm’s way.
- Love said undisclosed steps are in place to protect the shoulder; some outlets describe the issue as an AC joint sprain, which the team has not formally confirmed.
