[Packers](https://wisportsheroics.com/sports/packers/) quarterback Jordan Love kept it real about what he’s going through ahead of Thursday’s clash against the NFC North rival Detroit Lions.
Green Bay seemed to make a conscious effort against the Minnesota Vikings last Sunday, doubling down on the running game, despite Josh Jacobs’ absence, in order to protect Love as he continued to recover from a shoulder injury.
Packers’ Jordan Love opens up about shoulder injury
---------------------------------------------------
Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love (10) throws the ball during a game against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, Nov 16, 2025, East Rutherford, NJ, USA.
Love admitted that while he’s going to play through the injury, it’s still impacting him.
“It is an injury. I am not gonna sugarcoat it,” Love told reporters. “But with those guys I am not sure what exactly their injuries are, I think every injury is a little bit different and how guys feel from it. So, it is something that, we have done the test, and kind of looked at it and examined it in the game. But it’s something we felt I could play through and go out there and continue to play through. So I did.”
Despite the injury, Love has been excellent under pressure this season, and he might need to continue to be against Aidan Hutchinson and the Lions’ pass rush.
If Love is still limited, as he was against the Vikings where Minnesota held him to a season-low 139 yards, it could be another showcase for the Packers’ running game that will need to lead the way.
