Jordan Love's availability for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions remains uncertain as he is listed as questionable due to a groin injury.

Why it matters: The Packers are facing a crucial game and need clarity on their starting quarterback to effectively plan their offensive strategy.

  • Love had already missed two games earlier in the season due to a left knee sprain.
  • Last week, he reaggravated his injury during the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

What's new: The decision on Love's status will be made closer to game time, according to Packers coach Matt LaFleur.

Yes, but: In Love's absence, Malik Willis has been taking the starter's reps in practice, indicating the team's preparation for a potential backup quarterback situation.

  • Willis has showcased his ability to run the offense effectively, albeit with adjustments to the game plan that favor designed runs.

What to watch: Pay attention to the pregame updates to determine if Love or Willis will be leading the Packers' offense on Sunday.

What's next: The Packers will continue to monitor Love's progress and make a final determination before kickoff.

  • If Love is unable to play, Willis will likely step in as the starting quarterback.

The bottom line: The uncertainty surrounding Love's availability adds an element of suspense and unpredictability to the upcoming game against the Lions.

  • Regardless of who starts, the Packers will need a strong offensive performance to secure a victory.
