As expected, the Green Bay Packers have quarterback Jordan Love and quarterback Josh Jacobs for Sunday’s clash with the Detroit Lions. Both are lively despite being listed as questionable on the final Week 9 injury report.
Love will play after suffering a groin injury suffered in the first quarter last week in Jacksonville, while Jacobs is ready to play despite taking 4-5 hits to his ankle last week.
Both Love and Jacobs practiced on Thursday and Friday this week on a circumscribed basis.
The Packers will have 10 of 11 starters available on offense against the Lions, the current division leaders. Only center Josh Myers, who suffered a wrist injury, will not be lively for Sunday’s matchup.
Love will attempt to play in damp and potentially slippery conditions at Lambeau Field. He played two quarters last week with a groin injury, but had to leave the game early in the third quarter.
With rain and wind expected for most of the game, Jacobs – who is among the league leaders in rushing yards and rushes – will likely have plenty of work to do against the Lions.
Cornerback Jaire Alexander and safety Evan Williams are inactive for the Packers’ secondary, so Love and the offense may need to score substantial to win on Sunday.
The Packers and Lions will tip off at Lambeau Field at 3:25 p.m. CST.
