Vikings Leadup

I'd sit him again.

And that would be based on?

Guessing-

The quote saying every day is a little better...alluding to Love's knee not 100% because, if his knee were 100%, it wouldn't still have the opportunity to keep gettting better.

The fact that Willis is 2-0 in Love's absense and seems to be holding his own.

The next opponent (Vikings) defense blitzes like crazy, they lead the league in sacks, Doesn't seem like the most opportunistic game to bring him back... If his knee isn't fully recovered, it could be problematic. If he needs to take another hit, or needs to run often on a knee that isn't 100% there is potential to re-injure or tear the knee more.

Willis seems to be more mobile than Love, Willis likely gives the Packers a different dimention to the offensive game plan that an injured Love couldn't.

Sitting Love seems like a safer route to avoid setbacks and getting him back to 100% for the rest of the year.

I concur and to add to this he was listed as "Limited Practice" again today (Friday) and questionable for Sunday. I'd like to see him have at least one (preferably a few) full practice prior to him playing his next game. That's due to the severity of the injury he had. I hope it's Malik on Sunday.

Jaire missed 12 games in 2021, 10 games last year. Big blow if he's out again tomorrow.

There is no "probable" category any more for the injury report, questionable makes sense for Love.

Darrisaw and Pace with DNP's. I'd be shocked if Darrisaw is out for the game, but that would be a big blow for them if he is.

Pace is out. Darrisaw will play.

I think it's pretty obvious at this point he dodged a severe injury.

If Love feels gtg and the Medical staff doesn't deem him at an additional risk of getting injured you play him. There's no need to set some arbitrary time line. This isn't complicated

People are starting to feel way too confident with Willis at QB.

Packers hall of fame for sure.

Still lots of love for Jones.

Not sure if I've told this here before, but quick story on Aaron Jones being an outstanding person:

A good friend of mine makes custom sports figures. A friend or relative of Jones' ordered one for him that was of him waving bye to the Cowboys on his famous TD run.

My buddy was working in his garden one day when his phone rings. It's Jones himself thanking and complimenting him on the figure. My friend was very gracious but said, "oh man, my 9-year-old son just left and you are his favorite player, I wish he was here." Without hesitation, Jones says, "hey, I'm on my friend's phone right now, but this is my personal number. When he gets home, have him give me a call."

They don't get much better than him. I hope he runs for 200 yards and 3 TDs and the Packers win 35-21.
