Jordan Love sends a message to Vikings with pregame warmups in Week 3

Jordan Love looks great. He won't play in the Green Bay Packers' Week 3 game against the Tennessee Titans but looks close to a return. Minnesota Vikings, consider yourselves warned.

Green Bay hosts Minnesota at Lambeau Field next week. Love won't play today, but it sure seems like he will be ready for that NFC North showdown.

The Packers' star quarterback is only two weeks removed from suffering a sprained MCL, but he appears to be moving comfortably in videos of the team's pregame warmups.

Love spent time on the field ahead of the Packers' Week 3 matchup with the Tennessee Titans and worked on several mobility drills. Based on this video, it looks like his movement is close to 100 percent.

Jordan Love could return for Packers vs. Vikings in Week 4

Love is inactive for the Packers today and Malik Willis will get his second start.

But this video should serve as a warning to the Vikings, who are up next on Green Bay's schedule. According to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman, Love has a "good chance" to play in Week 4.

In some ways, the Packers are playing with house money today. They are against an AFC opponent, and the worst-case scenario is they fall to 1-2, which is hardly a disaster. If they win, even better. Last week's victory over the Indianapolis Colts has taken a lot of pressure off of this game.

If Love already looks this good, it would seem he has a great chance of returning for next week's NFC North showdown at Lambeau Field.

Every game counts, but a home divisional matchup is far more important than a road game against an AFC opponent. If Love isn't quite ready, it makes sense to give him another full week to prepare for the Vikings.
