A close-up video showing Jordan Love getting injured on Friday night has surfaced online while fans wait nervously for an update.
Love got hurt on the final drive of the Green Bay Packers’ loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil, having tried to shake two defenders off. He managed to avoid getting sacked, but it came at a terrible cost: His left leg contorted unnaturally as he went down, with an Eagles defender dragging him down.
The quarterback was able to get up on his own but needed help getting off the field and did not return for the final attempt at getting on the score sheet.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was asked about the injury after the game and said he did not know what the problem might be. “I don’t know,” he told reporters on two occasions.
While everyone is hoping for the best, the video below suggests there should be concern as Love’s knee appears to pop as he goes down.

Jordan Love Impressed Under Center vs. The Eagles
Love was having a superb game before the injury, having passed for 260 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, although his performance was not enough to get the Eagles a win.
“We know what kind of guy he is, how he approaches everything,” wide receiver Christian Watson said in the aftermath, per ESPN. “Whatever it is, I know he’s going to get through it. We’re going to get through it.”
Jordan Love is expected to be assessed when the Packers get back to the States.
Hopefully, he hasn’t torn anything and will be able to play again this season.
