Jordan Love clears concussion protocol ahead of NFL playoffs
The pregnancy reveal caps off what has been a good week for Love and the Packers.
Despite losing three straight games down the stretch — including two since losing Love to a concussion in an overtime loss against the Chicago Bears on Dec. 20 — the quarterback seems to be healthy again.
On Jan. 1, the team announced that Love has cleared the concussion protocol this week.
While he’s expected to play backup for the team’s final regular season game on Sunday, Love will be fully rested and ready to start when the team takes the field next week for the start of the NFL playoffs.
The Packers secured a wild card spot in the playoffs on Christmas Day following the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Love has put together an efficient season with 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions. His 101.2 passer rating and 73.4 quarterback rating are career-highs, per ESPN.
