The Green Bay Packers fell short of victory in their Friday night matchup in Brazil against the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 34-29. It was a great back-and-forth game with a lot of big plays on both sides of the ball, but the Eagles ended up on top. For the Packers, star quarterback Jordan Love suffered what looked to be a gruesome leg injury on the game’s final drive, and fans are devastated.
Jordan Love Injury
Love, in an attempt to complete a great comeback, got walloped on the final drive of the game, and stayed on the ground in a lot of pain until trainers finally helped him off the field. The quarterback could barely walk on both legs even with assistance, a scary moment for Green Bay fans.
Update on Jordan Love with NEW video evidence. Fear is upgraded for possible injuries in this order
1. ACL tear
2. Patella dislocation
3. High ankle sprain
4. MCL sprain pic.twitter.com/TZoiyd0gED— Dr. Evan Jeffries, DPT (@GameInjuryDoc) September 7, 2024
Green Bay Packers Fans React
Packers fans seem to be hoping for the best and have been calling Love’s injury a high ankle sprain, however, it was revealed today that it could also be an ACL or MCL injury, which would likely cause the quarterback to miss the remainder of the season. This caused an uproar in Green Bay, and fans are in shambles preparing for the worst.
Jordan Love likely suffered ACL and MCL injuries based on this video. It is still possible to walk after an ACL injury. Very unfortunate for Love and the Packers.

If J Love is seriously hurt, I blame all the Packers ‘fans’ who thought the first series Aaron Rodgers injury last season, was humorous. I’m a Packers believer, but an even bigger believer in karma. Heal up quick 10, we need you next week!

Bad Karma?
Another popular trend amongst Packers fans on social media seems to be a case of bad karma. Last season, former Packers and current New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles in his first game without Green Bay, and Packers fans cheered because of the injury. Now, their starting quarterback looks like he could miss some significant time.
While there has not been an official diagnosis for Love’s injury, fans and analysts are expecting him to miss a minimum of three to four weeks, which would be a devastating blow for the Packers. Do you think Love will miss the remainder of the season, or will the team get good news and have him back in a few weeks?
