A National Football League team's worst fear is that their quarterback gets hurt. The Green Bay Packers are already living that nightmare.
On Friday in the Packers' season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, star quarterback Jordan Love sprained his MCL in the dying seconds of Green Bay's desperate comeback attempt. The Packers lost the game, 34-29, and lost Love for a reported three to six weeks.
The Packers foresaw their backup position becoming a problem just two weeks ago, trading a seventh-round pick for the Tennessee Titans' Malik Willis. Willis took over for Love for the final two plays on Friday, failing to get off a Hail Mary attempt on either snap.
