Packers Vs. Eagles: Jordan Love, Jalen Hurts Will Play

Ahead of Sunday’s matchup, the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles received positive news concerning quarterbacks Jordan Love and Jalen Hurts.

Jordan Love Off Injury Report

Love is not on the Packers’ injury report heading into Sunday’s Wild Card game against the Eagles.

In Week 18’s loss to the Chicago Bears, Love suffered a right elbow injury. The elbow soreness made Love a limited participant in practice to start the week. However, Love was upgraded to a full participant in Thursday’s practice before being completely left off today’s injury report.

Love’s backup, Malik Willis (thumb), is also not on the injury report.

Love will attempt to replicate last season’s postseason success. As the No. 7 seed, Love and the Packers went into Dallas and dismantled the Cowboys in the Wild Card round. Love threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns in a 48-32 victory.

The Packers played the Eagles in Brazil to open the 2024 season. Love completed 17 of 34 passes for 260 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a 34-29 loss.

Love finishes the 2024 regular season with 3,389 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.

Jalen Hurts Clears Concussion Protocol

When the Eagles host the Packers on Sunday, they will have QB1 under center. Head coach Nick Sirianni announced that Hurts has cleared concussion protocol and will start in the Eagles’ Wild Card game against the Packers.

Hurts had been in protocol since Dec. 22 after suffering a concussion in a loss to the Washington Commanders. Hurts missed the final two games of the regular season.

Earlier this week, Hurts returned to practice as a limited participant on Wednesday before being upgraded to a full participant on Thursday.

Hurts has thrown for 2,903 yards, 18 touchdowns, and five interceptions this season. His real value is on the ground, especially in the “Tush Push.” Hurts has rushed for 630 yards with 14 touchdowns on 150 carries.

In the Eagles’ Week 1 win over the Packers, Hurts completed 20 of 34 passes for 278 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.

The Eagles host the Packers on Sunday, Jan. 12, at 4:30 p.m. ET on Fox.
