Green Bay will be without its starting quarterback this weekend. The Packers announced that Jordan Love has been ruled out for Saturday’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens after entering the NFL’s concussion protocol.
Love sustained the injury during last week’s game and has not been cleared to return to football activities. With the short turnaround to Saturday, the team determined he wouldn’t have enough time to progress through protocol requirements safely.
In Love’s absence, backup quarterback Sean Clifford is expected to take over starting duties, giving Green Bay a different look under center against one of the AFC’s toughest defenses. The Packers have not confirmed whether they will elevate an additional quarterback to the active roster, but depth could become a storyline heading into the weekend.
Love’s absence comes at a critical time as Green Bay continues to battle for postseason positioning. The third-year quarterback has shown steady development throughout the season, and losing him for even one game presents a challenge for the offense, rhythm, and playcalling.
Meanwhile, the Ravens enter the matchup with momentum and one of the league’s most well-rounded rosters. Without Love, Green Bay will likely lean more on the run game and defensive execution to stay competitive.
The Packers have not given a timetable for Love’s return, noting that his availability will depend on how quickly he progresses through each step of concussion recovery. The team will continue to monitor him throughout the week.
