LaFleur: Love day-to-day after shoulder injury

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love shouldn't be out for long after injuring his shoulder Saturday against the Houston Texans.

"He's doing fine," head coach Matt LaFleur said Sunday, according to team reporter Wes Hodkiewicz. "It's something that is significant enough where he could miss a couple days of practice. We're going to take it day-to-day."

An MRI on Love's shoulder reportedly came back clean Sunday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. However, LaFleur noted the quarterback could miss the team's next preseason contest against the New York Jets, per Hodkiewicz.

Love didn't play in the second half of Saturday's preseason game after he got "dinged" on a strip sack, LaFleur said following the contest, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky.

Saturday night's bout against the Texans was Love's first NFL action. The 2020 first-rounder completed 12 of 17 passes for 122 yards. He also threw a touchdown to Kylin Hill, who took a screen pass 22 yards into the end zone.

Aaron Rodgers credited Love for his showing, saying he thought the young passer did "a really nice job."

Love was slated to receive a heavy exhibition workload, as Rodgers is likely to sit the entire preseason. Kurt Benkert is the only other quarterback on the roster.
