Jordan Love injury: Packers QB strains groin vs. Jaguars; has a chance to play vs. Lions in Week 9, per report

Jordan Love made one major comeback from injury earlier this NFL season, returning from an MCL sprain after a two-game absence. Now the Green Bay Packers quarterback is battling a new injury, leaving Sunday's 30-27 Week 8 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars after tweaking his groin. He was ruled questionable to return but did not take another snap after leaving in the third quarter.

"Obviously, [we have] a high level of concern," Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters of Love's condition after the game. "I think everybody could see him struggling to move around. It got to a point where we didn't feel like, and he didn't feel like, he could protect himself."

Love reportedly underwent an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, and it came back showing he has a strained groin and nothing more, per NFL Media. That means he will be day to day and has a chance to start on Sunday when the 6-1 Detroit Lions comes to Lambeau Field to face the 6-2 Packers with first place in the NFC North on the line, per NFL Media. 

Love initially received medical attention in the first quarter, but returned to action without missing any snaps. This came after he seemed to land awkwardly while avoiding a pass rush from Jaguars defender Travon Walker.

The issue lingered, however, resurfacing as Love once again tried to avoid a rush from Walker in the third quarter, then left for the sidelines, giving way to backup Malik Willis.

LaFleur told the Fox broadcast shortly afterward that his quarterback "[couldn't] really move" normally due to the issue. Love was seen sitting on the bench as he normally would, though Willis, the former Tennessee Titans backup who is now 3-0 replacing an injured Love, remained under center for the rest of Sunday's matchup.

Love went 14 of 22 for 196 yards and an interception before his second-half exit.
