Love is considered day-to-day after an MRI on Monday revealed a groin strain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The injury forced Love out of this past Sunday's 30-27 win over the Jaguars, but with the groin strain seemingly of the mild variety, the Packers have optimism that their franchise quarterback may not have to miss a crucial matchup with the division-leading Lions in Week 9. During the victory over Jacksonville, Love was visibly hobbled during the second quarter and the left the game for good early in the second half, after which point Malik Willis took over under center. Green Bay will benefit from a Week 10 bye after this Sunday's game versus Detroit, so if the team has any lingering concern about Love's injury, the decision could be made to hold him out as a matter of caution. Love will likely get every chance to demonstrate his health during practice, though, with Green Bay scheduled to hold its first Week 9 session Wednesday.
