Packers QB Jordan Love reportedly suffered groin strain Sunday, avoided serious injury

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love sustained a groin strain during Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL Network reports.

The report cites an MRI Love underwent Monday to evaluate the injury. He'll undergo treatment throughout the week and has a shot to play in next Sunday's NFC North showdown against the Detroit Lions, per the report.

The prognosis is good news in Green Bay a day after head coach Matt LaFleur expressed "a high level of concern" about his quarterback's health.

"I think everybody could see him struggling to move around, and I just got to a point where we didn't, he didn't feel like he could protect himself," LaFleuer told reporters following Green Bay's 30-27 win.

Love appeared to suffer the injury early in the first quarter. He landed awkwardly after throwing on the run and had a noticeable limp afterward.

He remained in the game before appearing to aggravate the injury on contact in the second half.

Love was in obvious pain after the contact and did not return to the game on Green Bay's next offensive possession. Backup Malik Willis took over at quarterback and finished the game.

The Jaguars led, 17-13, when Love left the game. Willis helped rally the Packers for the 3-point win.

Love previously missed Weeks 2 and 3 with an MCL sprain suffered at the end of a Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He returned in Week 4 and played in a 31-29 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers have since won four straight games, including Sunday's win over Jacksonville to improve to 6-2.

In six starts this season, Love has completed 61.7% of his passes for 7.7 yards per attempt and 257.8 yards per game with 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions. First place in the NFC North will be at stake next week when the Packers host the 6-1 Lions.
