Packers’ Jordan Love clears concussion protocol, but he won’t start vs. Vikings

After a head injury kept him out for most of the last two games, Jordan Love is now cleared ahead of the playoffs. However, the Green Bay Packers quarterback still will not start in a meaningless Week 18 game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Love has been in concussion protocol since Week 16, when he hit his head on the turf and exited the game against the Chicago Bears. Head coach Matt LaFleur has since noted that he has been cleared, according to Matt Schneidman of ‘The Athletic.’

Love will still spend Week 18 on the sideline due to the Packers already clinching a Wild Card berth. The Packers will also rest Malik Willis, who is dealing with a shoulder injury, and start Clayton Tune in their regular season finale.

LaFleur noted that Love will be available to play, but only if every other quarterback gets hurt, according to Schneidman. The Packers have also recently signed former Atlanta Falcons starter Desmond Ridder to their practice squad and could elevate him for Week 18.

This is a developing story.
