The Green Bay Packers versus Philadelphia Eagles game ended in quite a sad fashion after the Packers starting quarterback, Jordan Love, went down with an unfortunate injury on the second to last play of the game.
Love and the Packers had a hard-fought battle against Hurts and the Eagles. The Packers signal-caller completed 50 percent of his passes for 260 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception through nearly 60 minutes of football.
While it was unclear what the quarterbacks went down with, one X user, a doctor, has given fans many theories on what transpired in the play. Dr Jesse Morse posted a video showing many possible injuries that could have occurred.

Left Leg injury
I’ve reviewed the video multiple times and there are a couple different possible injuries, it’s not super clear at the moment.
Most concerning: ACL tear

In the X post, Morse stresses that the field conditions, which fans had complained about earlier, may have affected the injury. He also adds to the concern, stating that he could have injured his leg and ankle.
What Injuries Could Packers Quarterback Jordan Love Have?
Morse claims that the least Love could have would be an MCL sprain while going on to explain how the injury occurred. He then adds that the quarterback could possibly have an ACL tear, which could be a tough and long road back for him.
The Packers could be without Jordan Love for about four to six weeks if the MCL sprain is what he does have. Love could also be sidelined for about six to nine months, as was Aaron Rodgers last season if the ACL tear is what happens.
While Jordan Love may be on the injury list for the next little while, the season will still go on. In week two, the Packers are set to face off against the Indianapolis Colts, and this time, they will be playing at home at Lambeau Field. Fans hope there will be less injury risk.
