All eyes on Jordan Love following latest setbacks for Packers

In Love's three full-time seasons as the starting QB, the Packers have made the playoffs each time, most recently blowing a 21-3 lead to the Chicago Bears in the 2025 wild-card round.

Love's best season statistically came in 2023 when he set career highs in passing yards (4,159) and TDs (32). He also added 247 yards and four scores on the ground. However, he has missed two games apiece in the last two seasons due to an MCL sprain (2024) and a concussion (2025).

While his 66.3% completion percentage last season was his highest in any of his three full-time seasons, the injuries and inability to get over the hump in the postseason have plagued him.

Green Bay dropped its final five games last season after it lost Parsons in Week 14. While he could play as soon as the Week 5 matchup with the Bears, Parsons will not suit up for at least the first four games, leaving the defense without its leader in sacks (12.5) and the league leader in pressures (64) from last season.

Although Jacobs took a step back in 2025, he still had 13 rushing TDs. While he will still get paid, Jacobs is not allowed to play or practice, and the NFL does not have to wait for the legal process to be completed before issuing discipline.

With his court date not scheduled until Nov. 17, Jacobs could face a lengthy absence and put Green Bay in a vulnerable position. Green Bay's gamble on Lloyd will especially be put to the test considering the 88th pick from 2024 has only played 10 career snaps.

With only one combined rushing TD between Brooks and the recently acquired Johnson, all eyes will be on Love and this passing attack to fill the void left behind by Jacobs and at least keep this team afloat until Parsons is able to return.
