As per reports, Jordan Love has suffered an MCL sprain and is listed as doubtful for Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts. He did not participate in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but Packers' coach Matt LaFleur is still hoping the quarterback will make a recovery to feature against the Colts, keeping him day-to-day.

"He’s going to do everything he can to get out there, and we’ll give him the week," LaFleur told the media on Thursday.

LaFleur added that Love doesn't need to practice this week to return to play on Sunday.

Initial reports claimed that Love's MCL Spain would keep him out for around three or four weeks. However, the Packers did not place the signal-caller on their injured reserve list. This suggests that he could return to action sooner rather than later.

Love completed 17 passes in 34 attempts for 260 yards with 2 touchdowns and one interception in Green Bay's 34-29 loss against the Eagles in Week 1 in Brazil on Friday. Malik Willis replaced Love late in the game after the Packers' QB1 was hit by two Philly defensive players just before the final whistle.
