Officially DNP on Thursday Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that Love (knee) didn't practice Thursday, but the quarterback was "engaged, knows every play call and is coaching up Malik (Willis) and Sean (Clifford...

Impact Despite not taking part in drills so far this week due to the MCL sprain that he suffered last Friday against the Eagles in Brazil, Love seemingly has a very small chance to play Sunday versus the Colts. LaFleur again implied as much Thursday, telling Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com that Love is "gonna do everything he can to be out there, and we'll give him the week." Love has just one more chance to practice before the weekend (Friday), at which point the Packers may make a ruling on his availability for Week 2, but as it stands, Willis appears as if he'll get the starting nod Sunday.

Absent from practice Thursday Love (knee) is not participating in the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact The Packers have left the door open for Love to play Sunday against the Colts despite the franchise quarterback sustaining a Grade 1-to-2 MCL sprain in his left knee during the team's loss to the Eagles in Week 1, but the 2020 first-round pick has yet to practice since sustaining the injury. Malik Willis will continue to work as the first-team QB Thursday, with Sean Clifford slated to be elevated from the practice squad to operate as his backup Week 2 if Love is ultimately ruled out. It sounds like confirmation on Love's status won't arrive until Friday, at the earliest.

Keeping door open for Sunday Coach Matt LaFleur relayed Wednesday that Love (knee) doesn't need practice reps in order to play, adding, "I'd say it's pretty open" for the quarterback to suit up Sunday against...

Impact Unsurprisingly, Love didn't practice Wednesday after sustaining a Grade 1/2 MCL sprain in his left knee last Friday versus the Eagles in Brazil, instead focusing on rehab. The general consensus remains that Love will miss at least a few games due to the corresponding 3-to-6-week recovery timeline for such an injury, but LaFleur seemingly won't rule out the quarterback for Week 2 until Friday, at the earliest. Assuming Love doesn't get the all-clear ahead of Sunday's game, Malik Willis is expected to sub in for him, with practice-squad member Sean Clifford serving as the backup signal-caller.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Love (knee) officially didn't practice Wednesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact When speaking with the media Monday, coach Matt LaFleur didn't outright rule Love out for a Week 2 matchup with the Colts, per Ryan Wood of USA Today. However, Love is expected to miss 3-to-6 weeks due to the Grade 1/2 MCL sprain that he suffered in his left knee last Friday against the Eagles in Brazil. LaFleur also noted Monday that Malik Willis will start as long as Love can't suit up, with Sean Clifford slated to be elevated from the practice squad and back up Willis on game days.

Not a candidate for IR Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Love (knee) will not be placed on injured reserve, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Impact LaFleur also declined to fully rule Love out to play Week 2 versus Indianapolis, though considering the 3-to-6-week recovery timetable that Tom Pelissero of NFL Network offered for the starting quarterback's MCL sprain, it would be a true surprise if he didn't miss any time. Per LaFleur, Malik Willis will start Sunday against Tennessee if Love can't go. Placing Love on IR would rule him out for the next four games while opening up a roster spot, so Green Bay's decision not to do so is an indication that Love is expected to be back sooner rather than later. However, LaFleur said the team will take a cautious approach to Love's recovery rather than "put him in position to mortgage the short term for the future."
