Jordan Love has hit Green Bay Packers fans with a pleasant surprise as he’s made claims of possibly playing against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
The quarterback suffered an MCL sprain nearing the end of his team’s fixture against the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil. It was initially feared that he could miss the rest of the season, but scans determined he would only be out a few weeks.
It appears Love is raring to go and is keen on playing in Week 3. He practiced on Wednesday for the first time since the injury and threw passes in individual drills after participating in warmups.

“Definitely feeling a lot better,” he told reporters after practice, per Ryan Wood of USA Today. “Just taking it day by day.”
The QB also indicated he could be back in time to play against Tennessee on Sunday.

The Packers did well in his absence this past weekend, defeating the Indianapolis Colts 16-10 with backup Malik Willis under center.
However, Willis might not get to suit up against his old team after being traded to Green Bay in the offseason after spending two years with the Titans.

In one of the last plays of the Packers’ and Eagles’ Week 1 matchup on Friday, Jordan Love had to be helped off the field after rolling his ankle under Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter.
It happened after Love pitched the ball to running back Josh Jacobs, and Carter pulled him down. In a close-up video, you can see his ankle roll under Carter and even see a slight knee pop that occurs for Love.
Many online immediately started accusing Carter of intentionally hurting Love.
“I’ve watched the tackle from Jalen Carter on Jordan Love about 50 times now. I’m telling you, Jalen Carter was doing absolutely everything in his power to try and break Loves leg. Disgustingly dirty tackle by just a terrible human being. Hope Love is ok,” one comment said.
“Yeah I don’t using these words but this was downright dirty by jalen Carter. This dude clearly and I mean clearly watches love throw the ball in front of him then rolls up his ankle and knee,” another said.

Of course, though, it’s football, and sometimes injuries are part of the game, considering it’s such a physical sport.
Jalen Carter Receives Threatening DMs For Hurting Love
The hate online for Carter got even more personal when people flooded his Instagram DMs with extremely hateful messages. He reposted some of the messages in a story with the caption, “Making a football play, wishing Jordan the best recovery!”
Almost all of them revolve around him supposedly hurting Love on purpose, and some even being racist. It doesn’t take long to see that some of these messages are highly inappropriate and unwarranted.
