### Packers' QB Jordan Love Set for Medical Tests After Groin Injury
Packers quarterback Jordan Love is slated for medical evaluations on Monday to assess the severity of his groin injury. Coach Matt LaFleur expressed considerable doubt regarding Love's ability to continue playing in the immediate future.
During Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Love was visibly struggling to move early in the first drive. The situation deteriorated to a point where neither he nor the coaching staff felt confident in his ability to protect himself on the field. Love was ultimately replaced by Malik Willis with 11:31 remaining in the third quarter following a hit from Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker that brought him to the ground. Despite Love's commendable performance, completing 14 of 22 passes for 196 yards and an interception, his physical limitations were evident.
Malik Willis rose to the occasion, leading the team through a crucial second half. Willis drove the Packers to a last-play field goal, sealing a 30-27 victory over the Jaguars. Coach LaFleur praised Willis' composure and versatility, highlighting his ability to make significant plays both with his arm and his legs.
This injury follows a sprained medial collateral ligament that Love sustained in Week 1, which caused him to miss two games. In those games, Willis stepped up and secured victories for the Packers. Looking ahead, the Packers are set to face the Lions in a critical NFC North showdown next Sunday. The team's coaching staff and fans will be closely watching the results of Love's medical tests to determine his availability for this important matchup.
