Jordan Love was earlier listed as questionable for the game against the Vikings. As per reports, he is now cleared to play in Week 4. The 25-year-old quarterback practiced this past week and is ready to make his return.

The Vikings arguably have the best defense in football this year, and many thought throwing Love back into the fire might not have been the best idea. However, the Packers know that Love gives them the best chance of winning, and he will be their starter.

Malik Willis went 2-0 in Love's absence and has kept the team in a position to achieve their goals this season. In two games, he threw for 324 yards and two touchdowns, completing 73.5% of his throws. Willis also rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries.

The Viking's defense has allowed an average of just 10.0 points per game this season. No matter who the quarterback is for the Packers on Sunday, Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores will make things extremely tough for him.

As the Packers' starting quarterback, Love is 1-1 against the Vikings. In those two games, he has thrown for 485 yards, four touchdowns, and an interception. Packers fans will hope that Love will stay healthy for the rest of the season, and continue to build on the success that he had in the second half of last season.
