3-to-6 week timeline for return Love is expected to miss somewhere between three to six weeks following an MCL sprain suffered during the waning moments of Friday's Week 1 loss to the Eagles, Tom Pelissero of NFL... Impact Speculation from social media doctors suggested a wide range of outcomes after Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter unintentionally rolled into Love's plant leg Friday, but it seems confirmed now after multiple scans and tests that the star quarterback escaped what initially appeared to be a serious injury. There's even been initial rumblings that Love could return on the shorter side of the reported timeline, but it's worth noting the Packers have historically been cautious when it comes to knee and soft-tissue injuries in past seasons. It's unclear if Malik Willis, who was traded to the Packers just two weeks ago, will operate as the team's starter in the ensuing weeks or if displaced backup from last season, Sean Clifford, will at least get a crack at the starting job with the former likely still learning the playbook. For Love fantasy managers, the next key note to monitor will be whether he can avoid a stint on the mandated four-week injured reserve list.
