Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are preparing for a crucial NFC North matchup against the Detroit Lions. Green Bay extended its winning streak to three games with a 23-13 win over Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys. The Packers enter Week 7 at 4-2 and sit above the Chicago Bears in second place in the NFC North, behind the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings.
Love has again led the Packers’ offense this season. He has thrown for 1,684 yards and 11 touchdowns through six games, with four interceptions, and is averaging 280.7 passing yards per game.
Heading to Detroit, the Packers have a few health concerns to monitor as they work through the week, including Love.

Love’s health became a concern after Wednesday’s practice update. The quarterback was listed as a limited participant on the Green Bay Packers’ estimated injury report because of a sore back.
Love told reporters that the issue stemmed from the Cowboys game and described it as lingering soreness. Still, he made it clear there is “no chance” he misses Sunday’s matchup against the Detroit Lions.
Wide receivers Matthew Golden and Christian Watson were also listed as limited, while receiver Bo Melton was estimated as a non-participant. Green Bay will, however, have Josh Jacobs ready to go after he was removed from the Commissioner’s Exempt List.
The Packers face the Lions on Sunday at Ford Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET, with the game airing on Fox. Detroit is 3-2 and will be playing its first game since its bye week.
