Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love suffered a lower leg injury during the team’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil. Love was hit by two defensive players while attempting a pass and had to be helped off the field. Backup quarterback Malik Willis replaced him for the final plays of the game. Love signed a lucrative contract in July and had a successful first season as a starter last year. Packers coach Matt LaFleur was uncertain about the severity of Love’s injury. Love’s performance in the game included 17-for-34 passing for 260 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The 25-year-old had a strong showing last season, starting all 17 games and leading the team to the postseason. This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
