to the Philadelphia Eagles in sou Paulo Brazil the extent of the injury remains uncertain and Coach Matt lafur has not provided any updates leaving fans and analysts speculating about the quarterback status Green Bay Wisconsin in a disappointing turn of events the Packers not only lost a hard-fought game but may have also lost their starting quarterback Jordan love to a leg injury the incident occurred during the closing moments of the game adding injury to insult as the Packers fell to the Eagles by a narrow margin Love's injury has thrown a shadow over a season filled with Super Bowl aspirations following the game coach Matt lafair spoke to the Press but was unable to provide any specifics about Love's condition I don't know we're waiting obviously we're very concerned about it wek wait to find out when we do more tests lefur said during a postgame radio interview while initial fears suggested a potentially Serious injury there was cautious optimism on Saturday morning that love might have avoided a catastrophic setback until love undergos further tests including MRIs and x-rays speculation will continue to swirl medical opinions and online speculation Dr David Chow a former team physician for the Chargers and now an analyst with sports injury Central suggested that love might have suffered a high ankle sprain describing the ankle injury as the bigger deal compared to a potential knee injury that may have occurred simultaneously he added that there appeared to be no worry about a torn ACL the injury appears less severe since it affects his front leg which is not as crucial for pushing off as his back leg Chia wrote this detail could play an important role in determining his availability for future games other experts such as Dr Jesse Morse had a more concerning Outlook fearing a possible ACL tear if you slow it down I believe you can see a pop or a shift in love's knee Morse explained at the minimum this is an MCL sprain my primary concern unfortunately is ACL Diana Rini of the athletic reported that the ankle injury might not be the most significant issue however coach lefur had little to offer in terms of clarity during his postgame news conference repeatedly stating I don't know how the injury occurred the injury happened late in the fourth quarter with the Packers trailing 34 to 29 starting at their own 16 yd line with just 22 seconds remaining love bootlegged hard to his left and completed a 33 yard pass to Jaden Reed breathing life into the Packers comeback hopes on the very next play as love stepped up in the pocket he was grabbed by Eagles defensive tackle Jaylen Carter love managed to break free but immediately found himself wrapped up by defensive end Josh sweat while Carter clung to Love's left shin love attempted to lateral the ball to running back Josh Jacobs it was during this chaotic moment that Love's ankle appeared to get trapped awkwardly under Carter causing the injury love was clearly in pain as he lay on the field and required assistance from the training staff with the game concluded love walked off the field supported by a trainer and Josh Jacobs obviously you don't want to see any of your teammates get hurt and you definitely don't want to see the leader of your team go down Jacob said after the game we don't know the severity yet but we're all hoping he's okay what's next for love and the Packers despite the uncertainty Dr Chow's more optimistic assessment suggested love might be able to play in next week's home opener against the Indianapolis Colts though he could be limited in Mobility love who started all 17 games last season in both playoff contests has been a consistent presence for the Packers we know what kind of guy he is how he approaches everything said receiver Christian Watson whatever it is I know he's going to get through it we're going to get through it together let God take care of the rest Love's performance against the Eagles was a mix bag coming off a stellar second half of last season love struggled to replicate his MV P caliber form he completed 17th of 34 passes for 260 yards two touchdowns and one interception it was a night of extremes while five of his 17 completions accounted for 177 yards the remaining 12 totaled just 83 the Packers offense managed to rack up 414 total yards but converted only three of 11 third down attempts and went just one for four in the Red Zone their Red Zone struggles were particularly frustrating two early turnovers by the defense an interception by Xavier mckin and a fumble recovery by Devonte Wyatt gave the offense great field position at the Eagles 19 and 13 yd lines but they only managed two field goals late in the game the Packers had another chance to take the lead but they settled for a 26- yd field goal to narrow the Gap to 31-29 with 752 left we were pretty damned good in that area and we got destroyed in that tonight lefur vented post game a crucial week ahead if not for the final defensive stand by The Eagles love might have had a chance to be the hero instead of limping off the field the Packers defense allowed the Eagles to burn over 7 minutes off the clock forcing love into a desperate situation where he was ultimately injured that was tough to see said defensive tackle Kenny Clark that's the franchise right there hopefully he can be back next week and he can be all right this marked the second time the Packers have lost both a game and their starting quarterback in an international matchup Following last year's game against the Giants in London when Aaron Rogers broke his thumb with the Packers set to face the Colts next week the hope is that this game will prove to be just a minor setback as long as love is healthy enough to play We shot ourselves in the foot too many times Watson reflected pre-nap penalties poor execution in the red zone we know what we're capable of we've got to be critical in the film room learn from this and focus on winning next week we were capable of winning that game we just didn't execute as the team awaits further tests all eyes will remain on Jordan love and his road to recovery which will be crucial for the Packers hopes this season
