Packers’ Jordan Love Plays Through Separated Left Shoulder in Win Over Vikings

Pain tolerance will guide his short-week availability after he reported feeling good postgame.

Overview

  • NFL Network reported Love is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his left, non-throwing shoulder, with pain tolerance described as the key hurdle.
  • He practiced fully all week, started against Minnesota wearing a shoulder brace, and was seen restricting handoffs to his right hand.
  • Love went 14-of-21 for 139 yards as Green Bay leaned on its defense and ground game in a comfortable victory, then said, “I’m good.”
  • The Packers ruled out Josh Jacobs because of a bone bruise on the short week, and Emanuel Wilson filled in with 107 yards on 28 carries.
  • Insiders noted he likely wouldn’t play if the injury were to his throwing shoulder, and the team will monitor him ahead of Thursday in Detroit.
