NFL Rumors: Packers' Jordan Love to Get MRI on Knee Injury; ACL Believed to Be Intact

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is due to get an MRI for the injury he suffered in Friday's 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini.

Russini reported that "an ankle injury has been ruled out at this point." Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported his knee will be examined by doctors. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network added that initial testing "indicated" Love's ACL is intact.

Upon landing back in Green Bay, Love appeared to be leaning on the railing to help make his way off of the plane:

Love exited in the final seconds of the game after his left leg bent awkwardly during a tackle by Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter. He went 17-of-34 for 260 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.

The 25-year-old is in his second season as a full-time starter for Green Bay and looking to establish himself as one of the elite players in the league at his position.

Love impressed in his first year as a starter after Aaron Rodgers was traded to the New York Jets.

After a slow start, he finished the regular season with 4,159 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Then he delivered a masterclass in Green Bay's 48-32 demolition of the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Wild Card Round, going 16-of-21 for 272 yards and three touchdowns.

The Packers were eliminated by the San Francisco 49ers in the next round, but Love did enough to prove he can be the long-term answer at the position. He was rewarded with a four-year, $220 million contract in the offseason, matching Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence as the highest-paid players in the NFL at $55 million per year.

His value means any time missed will represent a setback for the Packers offense, although the team prepared for this with the addition of backup Malik Willis.

The former Tennessee Titans quarterback will try to keep the unit moving until Love returns to full strength.
