Latest update on Jordan Love's injury is good news for Packers

According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN, the Packers aren't putting Love on the injured reserve. In fact, head coach Matt LaFleur didn't even technically rule him out for this weekend's game against the Indianapolis Colts.

"If he gets cleared, we'll give him every opportunity like we always will," LaFleur said of Love. "I know he's doing everything in his power. I know he's spending a lot of time trying to get back as soon as possible. But certainly we're not going to put him in a position where if he can't protect himself that he'd go out there."

LaFleur confirmed that the Packers will start Malik Willis in Love's absence with Sean Clifford — who was cut from the team and picked up back on the practice squad before Love's injury — as the backup.

Had the Packers placed Love on the IR, he would have had to miss four games, so perhaps they do have reason to believe that he can be back soon.

Either way, it seems to be good news for the Pack.
