GREEN BAY, WI (WNFL) – Various sources have indicated that Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love will miss an undetermined amount of time due to a sprained medial collateral ligament (MCL), pending further testing
Love injured the ligament late in the fourth quarter of Friday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Ian Rappoport reported early Sunday that Love has a grade 1/2 MCL sprain and should only miss “a few weeks”.
According to Tom Pelissero, Love’s return timetable is 3-to-6 weeks.
Here is what the Cleveland Clinic has to say about that type of injury.
- Grade 1: A grade 1 MCL tear is a mild tear in which less than 10% of fibers in your ligament are torn and your knee is still stable. You’ll likely have some tenderness and mild pain if you have a grade 1 tear.
- Grade 2: A grade 2 MCL tear is a moderate tear in which your MCL is partially torn — usually the superficial part of your MCL. Your knee will likely be loose when it’s moved by hand, and you’ll probably have intense pain and tenderness along the inner side of your knee.
