NFL Rumors: Packers’ Jordan Wants MRI on Knee Injury; ACL Believed to Be Intact | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats & Rumors

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love will undergo an MRI for the injury he suffered during Friday’s 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic.

Russini reported that “an ankle injury has been ruled out at this time.” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that his knee will be examined by doctors. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero added that initial tests “indicate” that Love’s ACL is intact.

The Packers were eliminated in the next round by the San Francisco 49ers, but Love did enough to prove he could be the long-term answer at the position. He was rewarded with a four-year, $220 million contract in the offseason, making him the highest-paid players in the NFL, joining Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence at $55 million per year.

His value means any time missed will be a setback for the Packers offense, though the team was prepared for that with the addition of backup Malik Willis.

The former Tennessee Titans quarterback will look to keep the unit running until Love is back at full strength.
