The pregame hype for the NFC North showdown between the 6-2 Green Bay Packers and the 6-1 Detroit Lions Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field is well-deserved.
But it'll be overshadowed by the status of quarterback Jordan Love this week.
Love hurt his groin in the Packers' 30-27 victory over Jacksonville on Sunday. Though the injury isn't serious, the Packers could choose to rest him. They're 3-0 when Malik Willis has filled in for Love and they have a bye after the Lions game.
But Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Love will be play Sunday if he's healthy enough.
