Latest Jordan Love injury update after limping off with groin injury vs. Jaguars

It's the last thing the Green Bay Packers need. Jordan Love had battle through an injury throughout the first half, but he has now had to exit their Week 8 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Malik Willis is in.

Love previously missed two games this season due to a sprained MCL, and the initial reports suggest he is dealing with an issue in the same knee.

The TV cameras spotted Love limping off after suffering a non-contact injury, which is always concerning. Love landed awkwardly after attempting a pass, and he immediately looked in discomfort and gingerly walked off the field.

While he continued to play through the injury, he never looked comfortable. Early in the third quarter, Love went down and had to be replaced by Willis.

Here are the latest updates.

Love briefly went into the blue medical tent to get his left knee looked over. According to ESPN's Rob Demovsky, he was only in there briefly, and backup quarterback Malik Willis never warmed up.

It's something to monitor throughout the rest of the game. The Packers need their quarterback to be at 100 percent, especially in such a favorable matchup. Love has dealt with knee issues already this season, so the hope is that he hasn't aggravated the same injury that cost him two games.

After Sunday, the Packers get the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field, the Chicago Bears on the road, and the San Francisco 49ers at home. Green Bay's bye is coming up in Week 10.

The Packers quarterback tried to play through it. Hopefully, it's nothing serious and we get good news.
