Is Jordan Love playing today? Packers QB's status explored for Week 5 vs Rams

Jordan Love made his comeback from an MCL sprain last week but failed to inspire the Green Bay Packers to a win over the Minnesota Vikings. It was a close 31-29 loss but it was a loss nonetheless as Green Bay fell to 2-2 overall.

Jordan Love popped up on the Packers injury report ahead of their Week 5 showdown against the Los Angeles Rams. However, Love is expected to get the green light to line up under center when they take the field at SoFi this afternoon.

Is Jordan Love playing today?

Love will suit up against the Rams later today and will not be on any sort of snap count as the Packers look to get back to winning ways. Last week, Love made a triumphant return to football donning a Brett Favre jersey but looked a little rusty against the Vikings. He ended up throwing three INTs as the Packers fell to a defeat.

Love finished the night 32-of-54 for 389 yards and four touchdowns so if you really think about it, it was sort of an homage to Brett Favre.

Love will have to deal with the absence of two top receivers with both Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson out in Week 5. Watson is currently nursing an ankle injury whereas Doubs is suspended for this game, a decision the franchise announced on Saturday.

Tight end Luke Musgrave is dealing with an ankle injury and is expected to test his ankle out pre-game before making a firm decision. DT Devonte Wyatt has been ruled out with an ankle injury.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams will continue to be without Cooper Kupp, who will miss his third straight game later today. Kupp is expected to make a return after the Rams' bye week, just in time to face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. DT Larrell Murchison is also out with a foot injury.
