Jordan Love Listed as Limited with Back Injury Wednesday

Jordan Love showed up on the Packers' injury report Wednesday with a back injury, listed as limited — but according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), Green Bay held a walk-through rather than a full practice, meaning the designation is an estimate rather than a true measure of his participation.

The headline looks scarier than it probably is. Love played every snap in the Week 6 win over the Cowboys and has been on a roll — 1,684 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and four interceptions on 60 percent completion through six games. Nothing in the reporting suggests he's in danger of missing time, and the walk-through context means this is likely a precautionary listing. That said, monitor Thursday's report for an upgrade to full participation — if he stays limited or steps down to non-participant, the concern level rises fast. Until then, he's a start-as-normal quarterback in fantasy.

The one player worth watching on the same report: receiver Bo Melton (back) was the only non-participant Wednesday. If Melton's absence carries into the week, that's a minor shift in Green Bay's receiver pecking order, though the source story doesn't indicate Melton holds a significant role. Keep tabs on the rest of the limited receivers — Golden, Watson, and Williams — as their availability could matter more for the Packers' passing game depending on how the week's reports develop.
