Packers' Jordan Love returns to practice, may play vs. Titans - ESPN

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Twelve days after his left knee injury in the season opener, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love returned to the practice field and left open the possibility of playing Sunday at the Tennessee Titans.

Love has missed only one game — Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts, with Malik Willis at quarterback — after initial indications were that he could miss up to a month because of a sprained MCL.

Officially, Love, who was wearing a protective brace that was covered by a sleeve that extended almost the entire length of his leg, was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Coach Matt LaFleur wouldn't specify whether Love took part in only selected drills or took part in every drill under a rep count.

In addition to still needing medical clearance, Love would have to be mobile enough to protect himself from injury to play Sunday.

«The trainers are seeing everything I'm doing and they're not gonna put me out there unless they feel confident that I can protect myself,» Love said Wednesday. «But at the same time, that's why it's good to get some practice reps in and get that feel of what it's like again.»

Love acknowledged that not everything can be simulated in practice.

«There's just nothing like when it's live bullets, you're in the game and that rush is real,» said Love, «so there's a lot of things I might not experience before I get back in the game.»

Willis said he is impressed with Love's recovery.

«You can see that he feels more comfortable just moving around the building, the way he was out there today,» Willis said. «I wouldn't be surprised [if Love plays]. I just have to stay ready and focus on what I can control [and] leave it up to him and Coach LaFleur.»
