Jordan Love injury update

Quarterback Jordan Love still is in the concussion protocol, per Packers coach Matt LaFleur, but he did participate in practice.

Love suffered his concussion after taking a hit to the helmet during the Dec. 20 loss to the Chicago Bears and did not play in Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens.

“Well let’s just get through the week and see where we’re at,” LaFleur said. “Here’s what I told the team: We have 53 spots on our roster. You can have two call-ups. You have 48 dressed on game day, so there’s going to be some starters that aren’t going to play. They might not suit up, they might suit up. And then you’re going to have some starters that are going to play.”
