Packers QB Jordan Love (leg) scheduled for MRI

Packers quarterback Jordan Love will have an MRI when the team returns to Green Bay from Brazil on Saturday, multiple media outlets reported.

Love sustained an injury to his lower left leg and was helped off the field with six seconds left in Friday night’s season-opening 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Sao Paulo.

The Athletic reported that an ankle injury has been ruled out and the Packers are in “wait-and-see” mode until further testing. After the game, coach Matt LaFleur twice answered “I don’t know” when asked about Love’s status.

Love had just completed a 33-yard pass to Jayden Reed at midfield while trying to rally the Packers. When he dropped back to pass on the next snap, he was hit by Eagles defenders Josh Sweat and Jalen Carter and appeared to twist his leg while falling to the ground.

Backup Malik Willis, acquired in a trade last week with the Tennessee Titans, replaced Love and threw an incompletion before taking a sack on the final play.

Love, who signed a four-year, $220 million contract on July 26, finished with 260 yards on 17-of-34 passing with two touchdowns and an interception.

“That’s the franchise right there,” Green Bay defensive tackle Kenny Clark said after the game. “Hopefully, he can be back next week and he can be all right.”

Love, 25, and the Packers host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, Sept. 15.
