Jordan Love appears to have avoided a serious injury to at least one of his knee's major ligaments during the Green Bay Packers' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday night in Brazil.

While the Packers quarterback still has to undergo further testing, EPSN reported that it is believed that Love's MCL did suffer some damage. Although Love will likely be sidelined for an extended period, the injury is not expected to force him to miss the rest of the season.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said, "I don’t know," twice when asked about Love’s status shortly after the game.
