Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love suffered a groin injury during Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Although Love initially continued playing, he eventually left the game in the third quarter after struggling to move. Head coach Matt LaFleur expressed a 'high level of concern,' stating, 'I think everybody could see him struggling to move around.' Backup quarterback Malik Willis replaced Love and led the Packers to a 30-27 victory, improving their record to 6-2. Willis connected with tight end Tucker Kraft for a touchdown and later completed a crucial 51-yard pass to Jayden Reed, setting up the game-winning field goal by kicker Brandon McManus, who played for the Jaguars last season. Love is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday, with early reports indicating optimism that he avoided a long-term injury.
