QB Jordan Love listed as questionable for the Green Bay Packers’ home opener Sunday

GREEN BAY — Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is listed as questionable for Sunday’s home opener with the Indianapolis Colts as he recovers from an injury to the medial collateral ligament in his left knee.

Love hasn’t practiced all week since suffering the injury during the third-to-last play of the Packers’ season-opening 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil.

If Love is unable to play Sunday, Malik Willis would start in his place. The Packers acquired Willis from the Tennessee Titans in a trade that was announced on Aug. 27. Willis has made three career starts, all as a rookie in 2022.

The Packers’ injury report also lists wide receiver Jayden Reed and running back MarShawn Lloyd as questionable after both practiced Friday on a limited basis. Reed is dealing with calf and shin issues, while Lloyd has a hamstring problem.

Reed had four catches for 138 yards against the Eagles and scored on a 70-yard reception and a 33-yard run. He was the fifth player since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to score touchdowns on a catch of at least 70 yards and a run of at least 30 yards in the same game.

Lloyd, a rookie third-round pick from USC, didn’t play against the Eagles because of the hamstring injury.
