After a turbulent week in Green Bay, Jordan Love said Friday he is healthy and ready to make his first NFL start Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. 

Love became the last quarterback standing for the Packers after starter Aaron Rodgers and third-stringer Kurt Benkert tested positive for coronavirus earlier this week. Green Bay have since signed veteran Blake Bortles as insurance. 

A first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Love made his NFL debut in the team's season-opening loss to the New Orleans Saints after watching from the sidelines all of last season. 

The Packers have won seven in a row since that defeat and it will be up to Love to maintain that momentum against Patrick Mahomes and the defending AFC champions at Arrowhead Stadium. 

"I've been preparing myself for that moment and now's the time," Love told reporters Friday. 

"Obviously there's going to be some nerves there. There always is, walking out of the tunnel. The atmosphere is going to be rocking. But I have a lot of confidence in myself, a lot of confidence in this team, and those dudes are going to take care of me.

"We've had a great week of practice. Those dudes are attacking it, and they're giving me a lot of confidence to go out there and play my best, too."

Though he has no consequential game experience as a pro, Love – who turned 23 on Tuesday – got first-team reps throughout the offseason as Rodgers was absent amid a dispute over his future with the team. 

Head coach Matt LaFleur said he is looking forward to seeing what his presumptive quarterback of the future can do against the Chiefs. 

"I think he's come a long way, but by no means is he a finished product," LaFleur said. "It's going to be a great opportunity for him to get his feet wet for the first time in a meaningful game, being that it's the regular season.

"So it'll be a great learning experience for him, and I'm just excited for his opportunity."
