Fear.

Concern.

Uneasiness.

Those emotions undoubtedly swept through every member of the Green Bay Packers as they waited for word on Jordan Love’s injury.

Love, the Packers’ franchise quarterback, suffered an apparent leg injury in the final moments of Green Bay’s 34-29 loss to Philadelphia in São Paulo, Brazil on Friday.

As the Packers’ readied for a 10+-hour flight home, the season-opening loss was secondary. Love’s health — and the fate of Green Bay’s season — hung in the balance.

“Yeah, that was tough to see,” Packers defensive tackle Kenny Clark said. “That’s the franchise right there. Hopefully, he can be back next week and he can be all right.”

Love’s injury came on the third-to-last play of the game.

The Packers had a first-and-10 from their own 49 with 15 seconds left when Love faced heavy pressure from Philadelphia defensive linemen Jalen Carter and Josh Sweat. Love flipped a backwards pass to Josh Jacobs, but as he did so, Carter had ahold of Love’s leg and Sweat pushed the quarterback to the ground.

Love writhed in pain for a several seconds, and eventually had to be helped off the field by team doctor Pat McKenzie and head trainer Nate Weir.

Afterwards, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts came to Green Bay’s sideline to check on Love. And social media was abuzz with thoughts and prayers for Love.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said, “I don’t know” when asked two questions about Love. Green Bay’s players were also in the dark, but extremely concerned.

“I’m not sure to be honest,” Packers wideout Christian Watson said. “Whatever it is, we’re going to back him 100%. We know what kind of guy he is. How he approaches everything. Whatever it is, I know he’s going to get through it. We’re going to get through it. Let God take care of the rest. I’m not sure right now.”

Added defensive end Rashan Gary: “Man, that’s our quarterback. I still gotta check on him. I just hope he’s all right.”
