Packers QB Jordan Love limited at practice with elbow injury to start week

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was limited at practice on Wednesday after suffering a right elbow injury during Sunday’s season finale against the Chicago Bears.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Love threw on a “limited basis” on Wednesday but provided no other details. The injury report — which comes out later Wednesday — will list Love as limited.

The Packers play the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field in Sunday’s NFC Wild Card Round.

Love was injured in the second quarter against the Bears while being taken to the ground. He hit the nerve in his right elbow and lost feeling in his hand and fingers, particularly his pinky finger.

Here was Love’s response to a question from Matt Schneidman of The Athletic on if he would play Sunday:

Love said he is no longer dealing with numbness but has soreness in his elbow.

The Packers aren’t the only team dealing with an injury at quarterback. Jalen Hurts, who suffered a concussion last month, hasn’t played since Week 16 but will practice Wednesday.

LaFleur said the Packers would “anticipate” Hurts playing Sunday but would also be ready if the Eagles have to start a backup at quarterback.
