Love completed 27 of 45 passes for 274 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 20-17 loss in Detroit.
Love and the Packers welcomed back top RB Josh Jacobs to the lineup, but season-long woes in the team's running game didn't improve, with the team averaging 3.2 YPC on its 19 carries. Head coach Matt LaFleur thus turned to the air to get the offense moving, and Love spread the ball around liberally, with nine different pass catchers being targeted, and six of those players recording at least two catches. Love now has thrown a touchdown in all seven games this season, including exactly two TDs on six occasions, but he's also sitting on a subpar 59.8 completion percentage on the campaign. He and the offense will attempt to get right Thursday night versus the Panthers.
Love (back) was a full practice participant Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Love opened Week 7 prep as limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a back injury. Head coach Matt LaFleur told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Thursday that Love emerged from this past Sunday's win against the Cowboys with a sore back, which was the result of some big hits that forced the quarterback to visit a chiropractor. Love's upgrade to full has him in the clear ahead of Sunday's visit to the Lions, against whom he tossed six touchdowns and no interceptions in two matchups in 2025.
Love was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate due to a back injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
The Packers' decision to include Love on their first Week 7 injury report may be precautionary, but his situation now bears watching as the week continues to see if he's in any danger of missing Sunday's game at Detroit. The team also listed WRs Christian Watson (ankle) and Matthew Golden (shoulder) as limited, so three top skill-position players are dealing with health concerns at the moment.
Packers' Jordan Love: Sixth straight game with two total TDs
Rotowire
Love completed 23 of 41 passes for 276 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Cowboys. He also rushed twice for 14 yards and a touchdown.
Love started hot, throwing for 109 yards on the opening drive while making up for some offensive penalties before eventually tossing a nine-yard touchdown pass to Matthew Golden. Love was picked off on the next possession, and Golden just brushed the Dallas defender on the way to the ground to prevent what would otherwise have been a pick-six. The Packers intercepted Dak Prescott on the ensuing drive and never looked back, pulling away for a convincing win to improve to 4-2. Love was held to a single touchdown pass for the first time this season after five consecutive two-touchdown performances through the air, but he got his customary second touchdown on the ground with a one-yard rushing score that gave the Packers a 17-0 lead just before halftime. After coming 24 yards short of his fourth 300-yard passing performance, Love is well positioned to post big numbers through the air again in Week 7 against Detroit's vulnerable secondary.
