Packers' Love exits with leg injury late in loss to Eagles

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love went down with six seconds left in the fourth quarter of a 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday.

Initial tests indicated his ACL was intact, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The team will run more tests when they get home from Brazil, Pelissero adds.

Love appeared to sustain a leg injury while trying to lead a miraculous drive, giving way to Malik Willis for the final two plays. The star QB was visibly in pain after going down and was helped off the field.

The slippery field conditions at Neo Quimica Arena in Sao Paulo, which was hosting the NFL's first-ever game in Brazil, were heavily criticized Friday.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur didn't provide an update regarding Love's status postgame.

"I don't know," LaFleur said, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky.

Love completed just 17 of 34 pass attempts for 260 yards and two touchdowns against one interception versus the Eagles. Willis threw one pass after coming in for Love. He joined the Packers recently as part of a trade from the Tennessee Titans.

The 25-year-old Love entered the 2024 season as a potential MVP candidate after passing for 32 touchdowns in his first year as Green Bay's starter in 2023. He signed a four-year, $220-million extension in July.

The Packers won the turnover battle versus the Eagles (1-3), but they committed 10 penalties.

Philadelphia running back Saquon Barkley put on a show in his Eagles debut. Barkley, who signed a three-year contract with the club in March, amassed 132 scrimmage yards and scored three touchdowns to help the Eagles overcome two first-quarter turnovers and claim a narrow victory.
