N/S Packers QB Jordan Love believed to have non-season ending MCL (1 Viewer)

Such is the risk of putting $220,000,000 eggs into one basket. QB and WR contracts are out of control IMHO.

It is out of control…In the mean time, running back Saquon Barkley gets “only” 3 years/37 million and dominates the game.

So this dude was flailing around on the field with a sprained MCL? He was acting like he was dying. Wow. That's so soft if true.

That’s because it was a tear and not a sprain. But they will lie and say it’s a sprain to get him back faster.

And the field conditions had nothing to do with that injury.

Stinks but two AFC games and Sam Darnold led Minny.

I am going to start playing the ESPN Playoff machine in hope the Saints will make it over the packers.

Have to admit Derek Carr left multiple games like he was dying, only to end up playing the next week.

The most tough guy take ever right here, wowza.

Whatever Nolan. I've torn my MCL and didn't flop around on the ground about it. He acted like he tore every ligament in his knee

That field was beyond awful. NFL may have lost one of their best players for the season as a result. Not sure how getting one of the top QBs hurt is helping spread the game.

The Packers had Michael Pratt, Sean Clifford, and Jason Eason in training camp. They traded for Malik Willis just a few weeks ago and released all other QBs that went to camp other than the starter, Jordan Love. They entered last nights game with just 2 active gameday QBs, Jordan Love and Malik Willis who are also the only two QBs on their 53-man active roster. Sean Clifford, who went to training camp with the Packers, is currently a member of the practice squad.

Love is expected to miss anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks. Unless they get some better news soon I would expect to see the Packers put him on IR where he will have to miss a minimum of 4 games. When looking at the Packers schedule, it looks harder to me on the back end than it does on the front end. If the Packers can get to .500 at 3-3 after 6 games they would still be in good shape. If they stumble to a 1-5 or 2-6 start, they may find themselves in a hole to deep to climb out of.

GB will most certainly make some kind of move to bolster their QB room. There's no way they stand pat with just Willis as the starter for now and elevating Clifford from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.

Unsigned free agent quarterbacks are Ryan Tannehill, P.J. Walker, Kellen Mond, C.J. Beathard, Trevor Siemian, Nate Sudfeld, and Max Duggan.

There are approximately 30 QBs on practice squads across the league. I would think most of them would jump at the chance to sign with the Packers bc at least for one day they would have to be on the 53-man roster and with the current situation they would have a legit chance to compete for the temporary starting job.

Flacco may have to get up off of his couch early this year!
