Quarterback quandary: Packers place Jordan Love on COVID-19 list; practice-squad QB Kurt Benkert may get first-team practice reps

GREEN BAY — Jordan Love has spent the better part of the last month doing his best Aaron Rodgers impression during practice, running the Green Bay Packers first-team offense with Rodgers trying to speed the healing of his fractured pinkie toe by not taking snaps in practice.

But if Rodgers’ toe didn’t heal enough during the bye week to allow him to do more in practice this week in preparation for Sunday night’s matchup with the Chicago Bears, then someone else will have to play the role of the reigning NFL MVP after the Packers placed Love on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday.
