The Green Bay Packers are dealing with some key injuries as they prepare to take on the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. Quarterback Jordan Love, cornerback Carrington Valentine, and offensive lineman Jordan Morgan are all facing different injury situations as the showdown approaches.

Jordan Love has been listed as questionable for the game due to a knee injury. However, there is optimism that he will be able to play on Sunday as he participated in limited practice throughout the week. Coach Matt LaFleur indicated that Love is progressing well and is close to being cleared to play. In the event that Love is unable to go, Malik Willis is expected to start in his place.

Cornerback Carrington Valentine, on the other hand, is doubtful for the game after missing practice all week due to an ankle injury. This could mean an increased role for Eric Stokes, who is likely to take over most of the cornerback duties alongside Jaire Alexander. Corey Ballentine is poised to step in as the primary backup in Valentine's absence, with hopes of getting him back for the following week's matchup against the Vikings.

Offensive lineman Jordan Morgan is ruled out for the game after re-injuring his shoulder, which he initially hurt in training camp. His absence will likely lead to increased playing time for Sean Rhyan at right guard. Meanwhile, rookie Jacob Monk is set to step in as a key backup on the interior of the offensive line. With Morgan sidelined, the Packers will have to adjust their offensive line strategy against a formidable Titans defense.
