The more than likely end result for the Inexperienced Bay Packers this week is that Jordan Love sits out together with his sprained MCL. Malik Willis would start in his place.

However the truth that Packers coach Matt LaFleur did not rule out Love taking part in in Week 2 must be some constructive information for Inexperienced Bay followers hoping their quarterback returns quickly.

LaFleur stated the door continues to be open for Like to play this week in opposition to the Indianapolis Colts.

“I might say it is fairly open,” LaFleur stated in his Wednesday news conference.

LaFleur additionally stated Monday that he would not rule Love out for Week 2.

Realistically, it is exhausting to think about the Packers placing their $220 million quarterback on the sphere 9 days after he suffered a sprained MCL. The preliminary studies on his prognosis stated he was more likely to miss three-to-six weeks. It isn’t outrageous to imagine Love might play, however the query could be if the Packers have been placing him at extra danger, and if he could be effective at far lower than 100%.

“He is acquired to be cleared, we have to really feel like he can shield himself and he is acquired to be assured sufficient to go on the market and try this,” LaFleur stated. “Till that occurs, we’re not even going to consider that.”

The issue is the Packers must be nervous about what issues will appear like when Love returns. They’re already 0-1. They play in a really robust division. And Willis hasn’t had any success throwing the ball within the common season.

Willis has a profession passer ranking of 48.7 and a 52.2% completion share. On prime of these struggles, he is virtually model new to the Packers. The Packers and Tennessee Titans agreed to a commerce that despatched Willis to Inexperienced Bay on Aug. 27. That is not a lot time to be taught an offense.

LaFleur did not appear nervous about that on Wednesday.

“It isn’t like we’re coping with a rookie right here who has no background,” LaFleur stated. “Lots of these offenses do comparable issues, it is simply how do you do them, when do you do them, who’re you placing the place.”

One of the best-case state of affairs may be that Love would not miss an excessive amount of time. If the Packers are nonetheless holding out hope for him taking part in in Week 2, that gives optimism he returns in September, perhaps as quickly as Week 3. Till then, the Packers will attempt to keep afloat. Maybe Love will shock everybody and be prepared to start out on Sunday. LaFleur is not ruling it out.
