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.
