Packers' Jordan Love Will Start vs. Vikings Despite Left AC Joint Sprain
The injury to his non-throwing shoulder makes pain tolerance the key variable.
Overview
- Love practiced fully all week and carried no game-status designation for Sunday.
- NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the sprain is in his left shoulder and said the same injury to his right would sideline him.
- Tom Pelissero reported Love remains sore, with pain management determining how he plays.
- He suffered the injury on a first-half scramble against the Giants, briefly exited, returned with a shoulder brace, and threw two touchdowns including the go-ahead score.
- Malik Willis is listed as the backup quarterback, and running back Josh Jacobs was ruled out with a bone bruise, with hope he could return on Thanksgiving in Detroit.
