Jordan Love could miss the start of the season with a knee injury, says journalist
The Green Bay Packers' defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles at the Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo, may not have been the only negative result for the team led by Matt LaFleur. After suffering a tackle, Jordan Love left the field loaded and became a concern for the championship run.
According to information released by journalist Adam Schefter, from ESPN, the quarterback may have suffered a sprain in the medial collateral ligament (MCL). He will undergo additional tests to confirm the diagnosis.
With just 22 seconds left in the game, the Packers advanced to the middle of the field, but Love ended up being hit by two Eagles defenders and, in that play, injured his knee. After treatment, the athlete left the field carried by two team members. If the injury is confirmed, the player may be sidelined for a few weeks.
After a 10-hour flight, the Packers team arrived in the city of Green Bay just before noon. When disembarking the aircraft, the quarterback leaned on the stair railing to get off the plane. This was Love's first regular season game since signing with the Green Bay Packers last July.
