Love (groin) is listed as active Sunday versus the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
One week removed from making an early departure from a Week 8 win at Jacksonville due to a groin strain, Love will suit up and continue to direct the Packers' offense after capping Week 9 prep with back-to-back limited practices.

Brissett will serve as a backup in Sunday's game against the Titans to Drake Maye, who will start after clearing concussion protocol, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
Brissett replaced Maye in the first half of last Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets after the rookie signal-caller was forced out of the contest after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit that landed him in the protocol. With Maye having been cleared for Week 9 action, Brissett is slated to reprise his usual duties as the No. 2 quarterback.

Mason Rudolph QB | PIT
Titans' Mason Rudolph: Drawing third straight start
Rudolph is set to start Sunday against New England with Will Levis (shoulder) inactive, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Rudolph will lead the Tennessee offense for the third straight game as Levis continues to recover from an AC joint sprain. He's struggled overall, recording three total touchdowns as opposed to four turnovers. Those did come in tough matchups on the road against the Bills and Lions, so Rudolph may see slightly improved results in his first home start against the Patriots.

Tommy DeVito QB | NE
Giants' Tommy DeVito: Emergency QB versus Washington
DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders but will serve as the emergency third quarterback, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
DeVito won't count against the gameday roster limit, but he'll be eligible to enter the game if Daniel Jones and Drew Lock suffer injuries.

Will Levis QB | TEN
Titans' Will Levis: Sitting for third straight
Levis (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Levis will be inactive for the third straight game while recovering from an AC joint sprain. Positively, he was able to practice in limited fashion all week and was spotted warming up prior to Sunday's game against New England. That suggests Levis may be in line for a Week 10 return against the Chargers. As for Week 9, Mason Rudolph will draw his third consecutive start.
