Packers quarterback Jordan Love suffered a groin injury in the first half of Sunday’s game at Jacksonville. He fought through it for as long as he could. After taking a hit in the second half, Love was done for the day.
Per a league source, Love will have an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury. For now, there’s hope that it’s a week-to-week injury, and that he’ll be ready to go for next week’s Lambeau Field showdown against the 6-1 Lions.

That said, it’s not as if the cause is lost without Love. Malik Willis won two starts in place of Love, and Willis engineered the win on Sunday, leading the team on a game-winning field goal drive after the Jaguars knotted the game at 27..
