Jordan Love appears to have avoided a serious injury to at least one of the major ligaments in his knee during the Green Bay Packers' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday night in Brazil.
Earlier today, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported that Love's ACL remained “intact.”
While the Packers quarterback still needs to undergo further testing, EPSN reported that Love's medial collateral ligament is believed to have sustained some damage. While Love is likely to be sidelined for an extended period of time, the injury is not expected to force him to miss the remainder of the season.

Love was helped off the field with an apparent injury to part of his left leg in the final seconds of the Packers' 34-29 loss to the Eagles. The Packers did not immediately provide details on the severity of Love's apparent injury.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur answered “I don't know” twice when asked about Love's status shortly after the game.
Malik Willis, a third-round pick out of Liberty in 2022, is currently the only other quarterback on Green Bay's 53-man roster and would likely have to replace Love. Willis joined the Packers less than two weeks ago when they acquired him from the Tennessee Titans for a 2025 seventh-round pick.

Willis has made three career starts during his rookie year.
Love, 25, was playing his first regular-season game since signing a four-year, $220 million contract extension this summer. The Packers entered the season with Super Bowl aspirations largely because of the emergence of Love, who led the NFL’s youngest team to a surprising playoff run last season as a first-year starter.

In addition to Willis, 2023 fifth-round draft pick Sean Clifford could be an option for the Packers. The Packers released Clifford and rookie quarterback Michael Pratt after acquiring Willis. Clifford then returned to Green Bay as a member of the practice squad.

LaFleur admitted the Packers played a “sloppy game” and will need to make some corrections before their next game.

“There's a lot to fix,” LaFleur said. “I think it was definitely a sloppy game on our part. There were some unusual things that we did as a team, frankly, and that reflected on our players. So, ultimately, we all need to look in the mirror and find ways to get better because tonight obviously wasn't good enough.”
The Packers will host the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 15 to open their regular-season schedule at home.
