Jordan Love had to leave the field on Sunday early in the Green Bay Packers' matchup with the New York Giants.
He took a big hit to his upper body area.
Malik Willis, his backup, came into the game.

Jordan Love injury update
It appeared the concern for Love would be a concussion, but the injury was then referred to as a left shoulder problem.
He went with trainers to the blue medical tent.
Willis, the athletic and steady backup, was going to get a shot at least temporarily.
On a key third-and-8 right after coming into the game, Willis ran for 17 yards and the first down on a QB keeper.

Love ran into the locker room shortly after that play happened.
The Packers announced Love as questionable to return.
Love eventually returned for the next drive after Willis led a TD on his fill-in drive.
Willis has won games in the past when called upon, and he can probably beat the 2-8 Giants on Sunday.
The Packers have lost two in a row, though, and they can't afford to have lost their quarterback Love for too long.
