Packers' Jordan Love: Struggles in rainy conditions
Jordan Love completed 23 of 39 passes for 273 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions.Love played through a groin injury that limited his practice participation throughout the week. At first glance, his stat line appears decent, as he averaged 7.0 yards per attempt and topped 250 passing yards fourth time in seven games. However, he threw a pick-six just before halftime on an ill-advised play and later missed Dontayvion Wicks wide open in the end zone as the Green Bay Packers tried to make a comeback early in the fourth quarter. Love has now failed to throw a touchdown in consecutive starts as the Packers head into their bye week.

Love may just be testing out the state of his groin midweek, but with at least a limited session under his belt, he seemingly has put himself in a position to suit up this weekend.

Packers' Jordan Love: Day-to-day with groin strain
Jordan 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 Green Bay 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.
