Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain, multiple media outlets reported Saturday, and he is expected to return this season.

NFL Network reported that the Packers’ initial timetable for Love’s return is three to six weeks.

The team will reportedly seek a second opinion to be sure.

The only other active quarterback on Green Bay’s roster is Malik Willis, who was acquired via trade from the Tennessee Titans less than two weeks ago. Former fifth-round draft pick Sean Clifford is on the practice squad.

Love was injured on the penultimate play of the Packers’ 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday.

Love was 17 of 34 for 260 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in the Packers’ season opener in São Paulo.

Green Bay hosts the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, Sept. 15, followed by games at Tennessee and against the Minnesota Vikings.

Entering his second season as the Packers’ starter, Love signed a four-year, $220million contract extension this summer.

Filling the shoes of the departed Aaron Rodgers, Love threw for 4,159 yards with 32 touchdowns and 11 interceptions last season, leading the Packers to a 9-8 regular season and a play-off win over the Dallas Cowboys.
