The Inexperienced Bay Packers’ hopes of contending in 2024 have taken successful. Within the season-opening, 34-29 loss towards the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil, quarterback Jordan Love suffered a sprained MCL. The excellent news is that Love’s preliminary timetable to return is 3 to six weeks, per NFL Media, and there is optimism he may return sooner somewhat than later.
Whereas Love was trying to steer a game-winning drive with lower than 30 seconds remaining within the contest, the $220-million quarterback was twisted round as he tried to battle via defenders within the pocket earlier than dumping the ball off to operating again Josh Jacobs. Love was in clear misery after hitting the bottom, however in the end limped off the sector with trainers.
When requested about Love’s standing following the sport, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur merely responded with, “I do not know.” Earlier than exiting the competition, Love accomplished 17 of 34 passes for 260 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
The younger Packers are seen as a possible NFC contender this season. Following a 9-8 marketing campaign in 2023, which led to a playoff berth and eventual postseason victory over the Dallas Cowboys, the Packers seem like a staff able to take that subsequent step with a younger quarterback that threw 23 touchdowns in comparison with simply three interceptions within the remaining 10 video games of his first full season as starter. That one season netted Love a four-year extension price $220 million in July.
In keeping with Stephen Oh, SportsLine’s principal knowledge engineer, the Packers’ long-term outlook will not take an excessive amount of of successful. He projected the Packers for 9.7 wins and a 63.3% probability to make the playoffs with a wholesome Love and 9.2 wins and a 55.0% probability to make the playoffs with Love sidelined three video games. Inexperienced Bay has a seemingly favorable schedule arising, as its subsequent three video games are dwelling towards the Indianapolis Colts, on the Tennessee Titans and residential vs. the Vikings.
Love’s backup is 25-year-old Malik Willis, who Inexperienced Bay traded a seventh-round choose to the Tennessee Titans for only a couple weeks in the past. Packers GM Brian Gutekunst selected him over Sean Clifford (who’s now on the follow squad) and Michael Pratt, so may they merely transfer ahead with the previous third-round pick of Liberty?
Willis would not have a lot NFL expertise, as he is began simply three video games, profitable certainly one of them, and has thrown for a complete of 350 yards, zero touchdowns and three interceptions. Nevertheless, Willis has made clear strides in his improvement over the previous few seasons, and is an intriguing dual-threat expertise.
If the Packers do determine to seek out Love’s substitute outdoors of the constructing, listed below are a couple of choices:
Talking of former Titans quarterbacks, not solely is Tannehill one of the best obtainable free-agent quarterback, however he is aware of a little bit bit about coming in and saving a staff’s season. Again in 2019, Tannehill changed Marcus Mariota beneath middle and helped Tennessee win seven of its remaining 10 video games. The Titans earned a playoff berth due to their sturdy end, then defeated Tom Brady and the New England Patriots within the wild-card spherical, and the No. 1 seed Baltimore Ravens on their dwelling area earlier than falling to the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs within the AFC Championship recreation. It earned Tannehill NFL Comeback Participant of the 12 months honors.
Tannehill retained the job of beginning quarterback for the Titans for the subsequent 4 seasons, going 39-24 because the starter with two AFC South titles. After being sidelined because of an ankle damage in 2023, he was changed by rookie Will Levis.
The 36-year-old Tannehill stated this offseason he was in search of the proper alternative. Whereas he must are available in and rapidly be taught the offense, alternatives do not get a lot better than this.
The Packers would wish to commerce for Winston, who’s presently slated because the Cleveland Browns’ backup behind Deshaun Watson, however the former No. 1 total choose could be a superb substitute for Love. Not solely is the 30-year-old veteran a pure chief whom the younger Packers may rally round, however he is one of many higher backup quarterbacks within the NFL who can nonetheless sling it.
Winston is known (notorious?) for the first-ever “30 and 30” season in 2019, the place he threw 33 touchdowns and 30 interceptions whereas main the league in passing yards with 5,109 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After being changed by Brady, Winston signed with the rival New Orleans Saints and threw for 20 touchdowns, 11 interceptions and received six of 10 begins in 4 whole seasons.

The Western Kentucky product discovered himself on the surface trying in with the Patriots QB room, and he’s now on the follow squad of the reigning Tremendous Bowl champion Chiefs. Packers followers know a little bit one thing about Zappe, as his first NFL motion got here at Lambeau Area. When Brian Hoyer went down with a concussion in a Week 4 matchup vs. the Packers again in 2022, the rookie Zappe got here in and accomplished 10 of 15 passes for 99 yards and one landing, whereas taking Aaron Rodgers to time beyond regulation.
In all, Zappe is 4-4 as a starter and has thrown for two,053 yards, 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. In the event you’re in search of a youthful participant with an enormous arm who as soon as caught the attention of Invoice Belichick, you’ve got it in Zappe.
No Week 1 sport may be mentioned to be a really must-win contest, particularly not an out-of-conference one. What this sport is, nevertheless,is a compelling early take a look at for these Atlanta Falcons, and one the place a victory would give them an early leg up on the NFC South and a banked win earlier than they play arguably their hardest stretch of the season.
Will the Falcons win? Our employees weighed in earlier than right this moment’s sport.
Falcons 24 – Steelers 17
The Steelers are by no means a simple out, and the Falcons have been significantly unhealthy at defeating them since their inception. Atlanta has received simply two video games all-time towards Pittsburgh, however I believe they get their third on Sunday. The vibes round that group are usually not good popping out the preseason, with the Steelers selecting Russell Wilson as their starter. Russ continues to be good at avoiding turnovers, however he’s now not a dynamic presence at quarterback and has turn into extraordinarily sack-prone over the previous two seasons. With the Steelers already reeling from a number of OL accidents (and a poor unit to start with), there’s a large alternative for Atlanta’s new-look protection to wreak havoc.
Atlanta’s offense ought to be considerably improved from top-to-bottom with Kirk Cousins below middle, all 5 starters on the offensive line returning, and hopefully higher playcalling from rookie OC Zac Robinson. All that being mentioned, the Steelers protection continues to be superb—significantly within the front-seven. I’m anticipating a reasonably conservative gameplan from Atlanta concentrating on Pittsburgh’s weak spot within the slot and in linebacker protection with loads of short-to-intermediate passes to Kyle Pitts and Ray-Ray McCloud. If Atlanta can restrict errors, grind out some lengthy drives and preserve the strain on Pittsburgh to maintain up on the scoreboard, the Falcons can come out of Week 1 with a hard-fought victory. —Kevin Knight
Falcons 20 – Steelers 14
A detailed sport outlined by large moments for each defenses and a small handful of spotlight reel performs for every offense, with the superior expertise Atlanta can deliver to bear on that facet of the ball making the distinction.
Nearly as good as Mike Tomlin is as a coach and as potent and opportunistic as this Steelers protection is, there are weaknesses the Falcons can assault, from an undrafted rookie nickel cornerback to a Steelers linebacker corps that isn’t fairly as much as their regular requirements. On the opposite facet of the ledger, the Falcons deliver a wholesome and improved protection to bear on an offense that doesn’t precisely have an inspiring quantity of expertise available, and can doubtless require time for Arthur Smith to coax improved efficiency out of, assuming he can achieve this.
This appears like a terrific Week 1 take a look at for either side of the ball. If the protection is nearly as good because it seems to be on paper, they ought to have the ability to maintain the Steelers below 20 factors with out breaking a lot of a sweat. If the offense is nearly as good because it seems to be, they need to be capable to give you the required scoring drives to drag off a victory. I’d wish to see a blowout to kick issues of, however given the historical past between these two groups and the variety of unknowns for Atlanta, I’ll simply take the win. —Dave Choate
Falcons 20 – Steelers 17
You’re going to get a bodily soccer sport everytime you face a group just like the Steelers. The concept that the Falcons, of all groups, given their historical past, may win such a matchup is telling about the place expectations are getting into 2024 below new head coach Raheem Morris. The truth was that these have been the sorts of video games that the Arthur Smith-led Falcons have been constructed to win however by no means constantly did throughout his three-year tenure. Now, the expectations are that Morris will end what Smith began.
The massive addition of Judon to the line of defense, alongside Grady Jarrett and David Onyemata ought to wreak havoc on a younger Steelers offensive line that might be lacking their beginning left guard Isaac Seumalo. In that case, that spells hassle for Smith’s propensity to lean on the run sport as a play-caller.
The Falcons will face their very own challenges towards a bodily Steelers defensive entrance, headlined by T.J. Watt, however they need to have average success shifting the ball. Their largest impediment might be ending within the purple zone as they’ll face one of many NFL’s constantly stingiest red-zone defenses. I believe they’ll do sufficient to get the job carried out when all is claimed and carried out and begin this Morris Period off proper. —Aaron Freeman
Falcons 20 – Steelers 10
A two-score win could seem to be I’m discounting how formidable this Steelers opponent might be, however that’s removed from the case. This sport will come right down to who performs the cleanest; each defenses will problem these offenses and be stingy with factors.
The Steelers should overcome damage and inexperience throughout their whole offensive line, a press release that feels like music to Jarrett, Onyemate, and firm’s ears. Russell Willson, Jaylen Warren, and Najee Harriss mixed for 16 fumbles in 2023, and in a sport like this one, a single turnover may doubtless be the distinction maker. Nevertheless, the Steelers’ protection will current its personal challenges. Cam Heyward and Keanu Benton will look to make life tough for the trio of Bergeron, Dalman, and Lindstrom. TJ Watt and his relentless effort on the sting will doubtless be the largest problem of the day. Nonetheless, Atlanta can mitigate that by successfully operating the soccer and getting it out of Kirks’s fingers as shortly as doable.
The Steelers offense is coping with too many unknowns and accidents for me to choose them to win. Atlanta received’t seem like a well-oiled machine but, however it’s extra doubtless the Steelers beat themselves on this matchup. The Falcons will win with the assistance of two turnovers, which they convert into factors. —Tre’Shon Diaz
Inexperienced Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love injured his medial collateral ligament within the crew’s season-opening sport, however didn’t undergo harm to his ACL and may return sooner or later this season, an individual aware of the state of affairs informed The Related Press.
The particular person spoke to the AP on the situation of anonymity as a result of the crew hasn’t introduced the severity of Love’s damage. A timetable for Love’s return wasn’t specified.
ESPN and NFL Community first reported the replace on Love, who damage his knee on the third-to-last play of the Packers’ 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil on Friday evening. ESPN reported Love might miss three to 4 weeks, whereas NFL Community estimated it at three to 6 weeks.

Carter was mendacity down and had a maintain of Love’s left leg when Sweat pushed the quarterback to the bottom. Love remained on the bottom for a number of seconds, then slowly obtained up and limped to the sideline with help.
Malik Willis, who was acquired from the Tennessee Titans, changed Love for the ultimate two performs of the sport. Willis obtained sacked as time expired earlier than he might try a Hail Mary move.
The 25-year-old Love was taking part in his first regular-season sport since signing a four-year, $220 million contract extension this summer season. The Packers entered the season with Tremendous Bowl aspirations largely due to the emergence of Love, who led the NFL’s youngest crew to a shocking playoff berth final season as a first-year starter.
The Packers imagine Love is on observe to proceed the franchise’s three-decade run of excellent quarterback manufacturing, a convention that started within the Nineties with Corridor of Famer Brett Favre and continued with four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers. The Packers traded Rodgers within the spring of 2023 to make means for Love, who accomplished 64.2% of his passes for 4,159 yards with 32 touchdowns and 11 interceptions final season.
The one different quarterbacks to throw for at the least 4,000 yards and 32 touchdowns of their first season making a number of begins had been Kurt Warner in 1999 and Patrick Mahomes in 2018. The one quarterbacks to throw greater than 32 landing passes of their first season with a number of begins had been Mahomes (50), Warner (41) and Daunte Culpepper (33 in 2000).
Now, the Packers should attempt to win with out Love as their franchise quarterback begins his restoration.
Willis, a 2022 third-round choose from Liberty, is the one different quarterback on the Packers’ 53-man roster. He made three begins his rookie 12 months and didn’t throw for as many as 100 yards in any of them.
The Packers acquired Willis from the Tennessee Titans for a 2025 seventh-round draft choose in a commerce that was accomplished lower than two weeks in the past. Inexperienced Bay additionally has 2023 fifth-round draft choose Sean Clifford on its apply squad.

It is going to be slightly unusual not seeing No. 99 anchoring the center of the Rams’ defensive entrance. The long run Corridor of Famer retired this offseason after a stellar profession. That is clearly an enormous loss for the Rams’ protection, however they nonetheless really feel actually good about a number of the younger expertise they’ve amassed upfront, together with Kobie Turner, who had 9 sacks final season alongside the inside, and the addition of rookies Jared Verse and Braden Fiske.

Campbell thinks the Lions are a greater group too, which ought to make this a heck of a matchup tonight.
If there was an MVP award given out for coaching camp efficiency, third-year defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson would have received for the Lions hands-down. He was a beast all all through camp.
