Packers’ Jordan Love on Brett Favre’s Parkinson’s diagnosis: ‘praying for Brett’ but ‘we know the risks as players’

GREEN BAY – By the time Jordan Love held his weekly interview at his locker Wednesday afternoon, the Green Bay Packers quarterback had seen the news about Brett Favre’s diagnosis for Parkinson’s disease.

Favre revealed his recent diagnosis in a U.S. congressional hearing Tuesday. Love said the diagnosis didn’t give him any pause as a player.

“I’ll definitely be praying for Brett,” Love said. “It’s obviously a very tough situation. I think in terms of playing the game, taking hits to the head, it’s one of those things we know the risks as players.
