Packers fans can already breathe after latest Jordan Love injury update

On Wednesday, Jordan himself said that the numbness he felt on Sunday is gone, but there was still some pain. Asked if he would play, Love gave a positive, but not definitive indication.

"We'll see," Love said. "Yeah, I'm hopeful."

Backup quarterback Malik Willis, who suffered a right thumb injury on Sunday, was also a full participant on Thursday.

Positive step

An important aspect of the Packers' matchup against the Eagles will be their ability to stop the run—running back Saquon Barkley in particular.

Therefore, defensive tackle TJ Slaton's availability is especially significant. After missing Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury, the run-stuffer was a limited participant on Thursday.

The only non-participants were safety Zayne Anderson, who is still in the concussion protocol, and wide receiver Christian Watson, who tore his ACL and is out for the season—he's expected to be soon placed on injured reserve.

Other side

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown did not practice on Thursday. One day before, he had left the practice earlier with a trainer because of a knee issue. The Inquirer Eagles reporter Jeff McLane reported that Brown is expected to play on Sunday, but the team will manage his reps this week to get him as close to 100% as possible for gameday.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts, who's still in the concussion protocol, practiced for the second consecutive game.
