Jordan Love landed on the Green Bay Packers’ injury report today, listed as an estimated limited participant with a sore back, but don’t expect him to miss any action. The quarterback stated unequivocally there’s “no chance” the injury will keep him sidelined against the Detroit Lions this Sunday. That’s the kind of fighting spirit you love to see, especially when facing a big division rival.
Love’s Back and Green Bay’s Growing List
Even with a walkthrough practice today, which means all participations are just estimates, seeing Love’s name pop up is always going to grab headlines. He told ESPN’s Rob Demovsky that it’s a sore back, nothing more, and he’s absolutely playing. That’s a huge sigh of relief for Packers fans, because a matchup with the Lions is never easy, and you need your signal caller at full strength.
But Love isn’t the only one on the estimated limited list. The Packers are dealing with a bunch of bumps and bruises. Offensive lineman Aaron Banks is nursing a knee and toe issue and didn’t even suit up against the Cowboys. Same goes for defensive lineman Jordon Riley with an Achilles problem and cornerback Benjamin St-Juste’s hamstring, neither saw the field in Week 6. Then you’ve got defensive lineman Anthony Campbell (ankle), receivers Matthew Golden (shoulder), Christian Watson (ankle), and Savion Williams (ankle) all estimated as limited. Cornerback Brandon Cisse is also limited with shoulder and neck issues, and he’s the only one of the bunch who dropped out of the Cowboys game and couldn’t return to action.
Bo Melton A DNP, Josh Jacobs Good To Go
On the non-participant side, receiver Bo Melton was estimated as a DNP with a back injury, even though he finished the game last week against Dallas. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but one big piece of good news is that Josh Jacobs wasn’t listed on the report at all, so he’s presumably full go, which is a huge boost for their ground game.
Lions’ Light Injury Report Ahead of The Showdown
The Detroit Lions, coming off their bye week and having practiced Tuesday, had a much lighter injury report today. Only cornerback Rock Ya-Sin was listed as an estimated limited participant, dealing with a hamstring issue. Everyone else on their squad is presumed to be full participant. So, while Green Bay is patching things up, Detroit seems to be coming into this game relatively healthy.
This Sunday’s game against Detroit is shaping up to be a test of resilience for Green Bay. With Love gutting out a sore back and a handful of key players battling injuries, they’ll need every ounce of fight to take down a refreshed Lions squad. Keep an eye on how these estimated limited guys perform, but rest assured, your QB is ready to roll.
