NFL team stops media watching its quarterback practice amid huge injury concern before playoff showdown
Share:
The Packers prevented reporters from watching Jordan Love throw on Wednesday as the quarterback faces a race to get healthy for the team's wild card matchup against the Eagles. Love left Green Bay's final regular season game last weekend holding his hand after a hit, and was listed on Wednesday's injury report as being limited in practice with a right elbow injury.

And four days before the Packers' trip to Philadelphia, Green Bay closed media access to individual drills, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Love was spotted stretching and warming up, but reporters were not able to see how the quarterback looked slinging the ball - as they usually would.
He admitted to reporters on Wednesday that he was still feeling pain in his elbow when throwing, but said he was 'hopeful' of being able to play this weekend. Love added that the initial numbness which he felt in his throwing hand had subsided. Jordan Love is seen holding his hand during the Packers' game vs. the Bears last weekend.

Furthermore, head coach Matt LeFleur said after the game that Love - who was replaced by backup Malik Willis - could have re-entered the game if necessary.
