Matt LaFleur Awaits Jordan Love’s Clearance to Decide Week 18 QB

The Green Bay Packers secured their spot as the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs after their recent defeat against the Baltimore Ravens. While the upcoming Week 18 game against the Minnesota Vikings holds no playoff implications, head coach Matt LaFleur is not planning to rest all of his players.

Jordan Love’s Status in Focus

This loss marked the Packers’ third consecutive defeat. Quarterback Jordan Love has been sidelined due to a concussion sustained in the first half of the Week 16 match against the Chicago Bears. Although Malik Willis filled in well during the last game, he has been managing a right shoulder injury that temporarily took him out of action.

LaFleur’s Approach to Week 18

After the loss to the Ravens, Coach LaFleur emphasized that the decision on the starting quarterback for the final game will hinge on whether Love is cleared to return to full football activities. “We just want to get him through the protocol and then we’ll have a decision to make,” LaFleur noted.

Jordan Love’s Recent Practice Participation

• Last week, Love was a limited participant in practice.
• He was initially listed as questionable for the upcoming game against the Vikings.
• He was ultimately ruled out on Friday before the game against the Ravens.

The team is focused on ensuring Love’s health before making any final decisions regarding his return. With the playoffs on the horizon, the Packers are weighing their options carefully. Fans will be eager to see how the situation unfolds as Week 18 approaches.
