Is Jordan Love playing tonight? Latest injury update on Green Bay Packers quarterback image

The Green Bay Packers entered the week ahead of their Week 17 game against the Baltimore Ravens with a major question mark in quarterback Jordan Love.

Love exited Green Bay's Week 16 game early due to a concussion, and that landed him on the injury report this week.

The Packers quarterback was a limited participant in practice during the week before drawing the questionable tag on Thursday.

Here's what we know about his chances of suiting up against the Ravens.

Is Jordan Love playing tonight?

No, Love won't be playing in Week 17 against the Ravens, as he was downgraded to out on Friday.

While Love did make progress in the concussion protocol by turning in limited practices this week, he did not make enough progress to get cleared.

With Love ruled out, the Packers are rolling with backup quarterback Malik Willis, who is questionable but expected to play.

Willis has proven himself to be a solid backup for the Packers, as he's gone 2-0 in his two starts with Green Bay, both of which came in 2024.

Willis also played well last week in place of Love, completing 9-of-11 passes for 121 yards and one touchdown while adding 10 carries for 44 yards.

Another positive for the Packers' chances of still winning without Love is the fact that Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is highly unlikely to play after drawing a doubtful tag due to a back injury.

If Jackson can't go, the Ravens will start Tyler Huntley, who is a capable backup but also a massive downgrade from Jackson.

The Packers have already clinched their postseason berth, so they don't really need to win this game. However, Green Bay is still in contention for the NFC North and winning the division would secure a home playoff game for the Packers.
