Green Bay’s Jordan Love (knee) has a chance to start in Week 3 vs. the Titans

In Week 1, the Packers were on the road for a neutral site game vs. the Eagles in São Paulo, Brazil. Green Bay lost 34-29 in a wire-to-wire matchup that went down to the final play.

The Packers are comfortable with Willis starting in Week 3 but there is a chance that Jordan Love can play.

One source told Adam Schefter that it’s “50-50 at best” for Love to play on Sunday vs. Tennessee. This is incredible news for the Packers who were able to bounce back with a win in Week 2. Even if Love doesn’t play in Week 3, he’s in a position to make…
