Jordan Love - 3-to-6 week timeline for returnLove 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...
ImpactSpeculation 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.

Jordan Love - Seems to have avoided serious injuryLove is believed to have injured his MCL, and while the exact severity is still subject to additional testing, it does not appear to be a season-ending injury, Adam Schefter of ESP...
ImpactIan Rapoport of NFL Network has reported that it's an MCL sprain, although that has yet to be confirmed by the team. That multiple reports have suggested Love has avoided suffering a dreaded ACL injury is encouraging for his availability later in the season, but it does seem as if the second-year starter will miss some duration of time. Malik Willis came in for the final two snaps of Friday's loss to the Eagles and the Packers still have last year's backup Sean Clifford on the practice squad, but a multi-week extended absence could have the team consider all options available, including a veteran like Ryan Tannehill who played under Matt LaFleur when the two were together on the Titans.
