On Sunday, the Green Bay Packers will face the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Wild Card round. Both clubs had some questions about their quarterbacks before the week. Jalen Hurts, the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, missed the end of the NFL regular season due to a concussion. Jordan Love and Malik Willis, Green Bay’s two rostered quarterbacks, suffered injuries in Week 18.
Love injured his elbow after being knocked to the ground by Chicago Bears defenders. The impact caused his hand to become numb, and many questioned if this would last into the NFL Playoffs. Willis damaged his right thumb during the game. Both started the week with limited practice time and were categorized as questionable for the Wild Card round. Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love will play against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Despite being limited in practice earlier in the week, Love reported that the feeling in his hand returned the day after the Bears game. He did admit, however, that his elbow ached during his throwing action. “We will see. Yeah. “I’m hopeful,” Love told reporters when asked if he’d be able to play on Sunday. Love fully participated in practice on Thursday and Friday. When the Packers’ injury report was posted, Love had no game designation. Of course, this indicates that he is playing.
The Green Bay Packers have ruled out the following players for their Wild Card game against the Philadelphia Eagles: Christian Watson(knee) Zayne Anderson (Concussion) Watson tore his ACL in Week 18. He has not yet been placed on injured reserve, as Jaire Alexander was. This is why Watson remains on the injury report while Alexander is not.
Anderson sustained a concussion during Week 17 against the Minnesota Vikings. The following Packers players have been listed as questionable: Brent Cox (foot) Andre Dillard (Concussion) T.J. Slaton (ankle Quay Walker (ankle). Evan Williams (Quad) Slaton was the lone player named above who appeared in Week 18. Williams has missed the past several games due to an injury sustained during practice. Along with Love, the following players were on the Packers’ injury list this week but did not receive a designation for Sunday and will play/be available: Javon Bullard(ankle) Edgerrin Cooper (illness, knee) Romeo Doubs (illness) Malik Willis (Thumb)
Doubs was the only player mentioned above who did not participate in Week 18. He became unwell the night before the game.
