SAO PAULO, BR (WSAU) – As the Packers travel back to Green Bay following their 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday night, the status of star quarterback Jordan Love remains unknown after getting injured from a low tackle during the team’s attempt to put together a game-winning drive.
When head coach Matt LaFleur was asked by Larry McCarren of the Packers Radio Network about the injury during his post-game interview, he said it’s too early to know how severe it is. “I don’t know. We’re waiting. Obviously very concerned about it. We’ll wait to find out when we do more tests.”
Running back Josh Jacobs had a similar response, saying, “We don’t know the severity of his injury, but hopefully he’s OK.”
According to The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman, Love was seen leaving the locker room following the game under his power with a slight limp but wasn’t using crutches or a walking boot.
LaFleur also weighed in on the team’s penalty calls that derailed a few drives, calling the game a “slop fest” and saying, “There’s a lot to clean up. Definitely a sloppy game from us. There were some uncharacteristic things that we did as a staff, quite frankly, and that trickled down to our players. Ultimately, we all got to look hard at ourselves in the mirror and find ways to get better because tonight wasn’t good enough.”
The Packers’ loss was highlighted by the team managing to score just nine points on three turnovers on Friday night and scoring just one touchdown in the red zone on four attempts while committing 10 total penalties for 71 yards.
