Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur indicated that Jordan Love's left MCL injury may not require placing him on injured reserve, allowing for a quicker return. Love hurt himself late in the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles and could miss multiple games. If cleared, he will start; otherwise, Malik Willis will lead with Sean Clifford as backup.

Willis was acquired from the Tennessee Titans and has quickly learned the playbook, while Clifford has limited experience. The Packers opted not to pursue a replacement for Love.
