Jordan Love was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate because of a back injury, putting his status for Sunday's game at Detroit on the radar as the Packers work through a Week 7 injury report.
The update came after Sunday night's 23-13 win over Dallas, when the Packers were already leaning on three top skill-position players in different ways. Christian Watson and Matthew Golden were also listed as limited on Wednesday, adding another layer to a short week that now includes Love's back issue.
Matt LaFleur did not commit to an immediate answer on Love's availability. "We'll see. We'll work through it," he said, adding that Love still has "to clear some hurdles yet before we get to that point."
LaFleur also said, "We feel he's in a pretty good spot," while noting, "He's been training but he's missed the exposure to football." That language suggests the Packers are at least treating the situation with some caution, even if the team has not confirmed how serious the issue is.
For now, the key detail is simple: Love was limited on Wednesday, and Detroit is the game that could be affected. That makes the rest of the week important for Jordan Love and the Packers as they try to determine whether he can move from limited participation to a normal workload before Sunday.
