Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love left Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a groin injury.

Love left the game following contact after the whistle from Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker in the second half. Walker bumped Love when Love was off balance, and Love was slow to get up from the play.

Backup Malik Willis took over and remained in the game on Green Bay’s next possession as the Jaguars held a 17-13 lead in the third quarter. The Packers listed Love as questionable to return with a groin injury.

Love initially appeared to suffer or aggravate injury in the first quarter when he landed awkwardly after a throw.

He spent time in a sideline medical tent after that play, but remained in the game through the start of the second half. His mobility was limited after the incident, and he was seen repeatedly limping throughout the game.

Love previously missed two games this season with an MCL sprain sustained in the final seconds of Green Bay’s season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. He missed games in Weeks 2 and 3 before returning to the lineup in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings.
