Sounds like we don’t know the status of Jordan Love’s injury just yet

You can see some kind of apparent pop / rupture / dislocation in the video

That was his Johnson… it moved!

NFL has a game in friggin Brazil on a trash field, has a ref make a bullsh*t call to give Philly the game, and has a top 5 QB out for the year. Bravo Rog.

Matt? Least nobody bitching about MetLife turf,, uhhh, errr, till they play on it. 

[TuscanyTile2]

Between a FQB possibly going down for the season in week 1 and the refs getting way too involved, these 1st 2 games brought back a lot of negative associations I have with the NFL.

[Adoni Beast]

That really sucks. Packers were probably going to be contending for the division with Detroit and a Super Bowl sleeper pick. 

[Sarge4Tide]

Hope it's not as bad as it looked

Hate to see that.

Player gets injured in high-risk contact sport - blame the field.

From start to finish this was an AWFUL experiment.  The league should be embarrassed.

Tough break.  Early word is the ACL popped.

Tough break for the kid.

It’s football there’s always going to be injuries . Next man up.    Raiders lost a big part of their team for the season  yesterday ( non contact) De Malcolm Koonce.( was expecting monster year)        No one going to feel sorry for any team , it’s whoever you have healthy to play the game.

How many people griped about the MetLife field last season when Aaron Rodgers went down?

Quite a few as I recall.

It was pretty apparent from the onset of the game last night, that the field was more slippery, then your average NFL field.

Was it the cause of Love's injury?

Maybe, maybe not.

Did that contribute to Love's injury? Looks like a Philly defender had him by both ankles, not really much for the field to do in that case.

Agree with you.

They also showed the GB coaching staff working on Love's calves with massaging devices a few times, late in the 3rd quarter, like his calves were cramping, which also could have been a factor.

Koonce is out for Week 1.  I've seen nothing about the season.  Have you seen a reliable report on that?

It reminded me of when they tried the natural grass trays in the Meadowlands. 

[OilfieldJet]

I feel bad for Love, hope he can come back. It sure looked like that injury would have happened on any type of field - he was twisted by the defenders.

This is never a good answer:

Packers’ HC Matt LaFleur on QB Jordan Love's status: "I don't know. I don't know."

"I don't know" is actually the best answer about any injury suffered before the player can be properly examined.

When people stop going to games or stop watching games due to field conditions, then the NFL will care  $$$

My nurse brain has a hard time understanding a 'pop' of a ligament being visualized from the front of the knee given its anatomical structure. My guess is patella dislocation that spontaneously reduced. Painful for sure, but not season-ending by any stretch.

Knee moving inward like that could mean MCL strain or tear Ive had one and they hurt like a bitch. That being said there is always the possibility its an ACL as well

Jordan Love was injured at the end of the game as he was tackled by a player already on the ground. Love had his left knee examined by the medical staff on the field and was able to walk off with assistance. With that type of injury we worry most about the MCL in the knee and the high ankle. For now, hoping for the best and awaiting news from the team.

The officiating on Phillys last drive made the field look good

[RedBeardedSavage]

So as a distinguished gentleman in a SuperFlex league - Jordon Love was my 2nd round pick this year.

Nick Chubb was my second-round pick last year.

@Gastineau Lives how badly am I supposed to feel about this one?  I‘m torn….

That's a tough one. Hard to watch. We know what that's like.

I just finished rewatching the game on NFL network, that was a nasty hit & roll.

Hope for the best for Love.

Agree. If THAT was showcasing the NFL to broaden it’s appeal, then … I don’t know what to say. Totally sloppy game on a terrible field, with no energy in the stadium, that the refs made into a flag fest. It was a BAD football game. And then one of the up and coming marquee players gets seriously injured on the second to last play? Just ice on the stale, soggy cake.

[Beerfish]

Bad luck cause injuries more so than fields, every one was bleating about wanting grass fields and even the internet experts like JJ Watt were saying this soccer field was slippery but soft and thus would have soft tissue injures but not serious ones.
