Here’s a closer look at the Packers’ final injury report heading into Week 3:

Doubtful (1)

QB Jordan Love (knee): The Packers have listed him as questionable again, but Love’s chances of playing Sunday seem much better this week compared to last. He practiced in a constrained capacity all three days this week, and coach Matt LaFleur suggested the Packers are working through the final stages of getting him cleared to play. Note the practice squad promotion on Saturday — the Packers would have to promote Sean Clifford by Saturday to be available for Sunday. At this point, it seems more likely Love will play. Malik Willis would start if the Packers decide to hold Love for another week.

Doubtful (1)

CB Carrington Valentine (ankle): The second-year cornerback didn’t practice all week. Valentine outscored Eric Stokes last week, but an ankle injury will likely keep him out at least this week. Expect Stokes to play the bulk of the perimeter cornerback snaps opposite Jaire Alexander, with Corey Ballentine now the top backup. Barring a major recovery before Sunday, the Packers will hope Valentine returns next week against Sam Darnold and the Vikings.

Outside (1)

OL Jordan Morgan (shoulder): LaFleur said Morgan has re-injured the same shoulder he injured in training camp, although his timetable for recovery is unclear this time. The Packers’ first-round draft pick sat out Sunday’s win and did not return, and he has not practiced this week. Morgan has been rotating with Sean Rhyan at right guard, so Rhyan could be the full-time starter Sunday against a good Titans front. Rookie Jacob Monk will now be the top backup on the inside.

No status indication

The following players do not have any status designations and will be available to play Sunday against the Titans: DL Kenny Clark, DE Kingsley Enagbare, RB Josh Jacobs, OL Elgton Jenkins, TE Tucker Kraft, C Josh Myers, WR Jayden Reed, OL Zach Tom and OT Rasheed Walker.

Titans Injury Report

The Titans listed running back Tyjae Spears as questionable with an ankle injury. Spears is the only player with a status designation for the Titans ahead of Sunday.
