Packers fans can sigh in relief as their star quarterback Jordan Love has returned to practice after sitting out Green Bay’s 16-10 Week 2 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

Went through stretch and all the early drills with a sleeve on his left leg. The first time he’s practiced since his Week 1 left knee injury. pic.twitter.com/9JJMtQ6kEH
Love suffered an MCL sprain in the Packer's 34-29 Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, and his near future with Green Bay was uncertain while awaiting an evaluation. After discovering Love suffered an MCL sprain in his left knee, Green Bay did not allow Love to practice in the Week leading up to the Packer’s Week 2 home opener against the Colts.
Backup- quarterback Malik Willis filled Love’s role as a starter, throwing for 122 yards and a touchdown in his first career start with Green Bay. Willis was traded to the Packers from the Tennesee Titans in the weeks leading up to the start of the 2024 NFL season and is slowly settling into his role with the Packers.
"I don't get proud... We just gotta continue to get better and work hard. We'll see where Jordan's at, and continue to just prepare." @malikwillis stayed humble after his first win at QB for the @Packers 🙏 pic.twitter.com/3r1pOr7l4k

Green Bay will travel to Nashville, Tennessee, on Sunday, September 22, where the Packers will take on Willis’ former team, the Tennesee Titans. If Love is to return on Sunday, The Predictors' injury statistics show that Love will likely experience a 23.7% decrease in passing yards and a 2% decrease in rushing yards.
Will Love return for the Packers after missing just one week, or will Green Bay trust Willis to dominate his former team and capture the Packers' second straight victory?
