GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers downgraded quarterback Jordan Love to doubtful on Saturday, lessening his chances of playing on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
Love had been listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report even though he has not practiced since suffering a sprained MCL in his left knee late in last week’s season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The initial prognosis on Love’s injury was three to four weeks. The Packers did not put Love on injured reserve because they believe he will miss fewer than four games.
Editor’s Picks
Malik Willis is expected to start Sunday, and the Packers elevated Sean Clifford from the practice squad to serve as Willis’ backup.
Willis was acquired in an Aug. 26 trade with the Titans. He has made three NFL starts — all during his 2022 rookie season in Tennessee. The Titans went 1-2 in those games, and Willis did not throw for 100 yards passing in any of those starts.
