While the Packers star walked off the field under his own power, he was visibly shaken up and stayed down on the field for a handful of minutes. After leaving the field to be evaluated, he was replaced by backup Malik Willis. 

Love’s status for the remainder of the game has not yet been determined.

Love hasn’t missed a start since the opening month of the 2024 season, though Willis filled in admirably during that absence, winning his two starts as an injury replacement.
