Packers' Jordan Love: Slated to play Friday
Love said Wednesday that he expects to play a few possessions in Friday's preseason game at Cincinnati, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
A 2020 first-round pick, Love didn't see any NFL action until the 2021 preseason due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, he logged mostly spot duty -- including one start -- in the last two regular seasons, en route to 606 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions on 60.3-percent passing. Now that Aaron Rodgers has moved on to the Jets, Love has taken over direction of the Packers offense behind a steady offensive line. Love will have a one-two punch in running backs Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon to lean on, but the receiving corps mostly boasts first- and second-year options, headlined by 2022 second-round pick Christian Watson.
