SÃO PAULO – Former Utah State quarterback Jordan Love went down with an injury on one of the final plays of the season opener in Brazil.
With less than 10 seconds on the clock, two Eagles defenders closed in on Love.

One Philadelphia defender had a low hold while the other tackled him high.
Love’s left leg bent at an awkward angle as he was pulled down to the grass.
At first, it looked like he would need a cart to get off of the field. However, after the training staff attended to him for a couple of minutes, he was able to walk off with the help of two Green Bay trainers.

Backup quarterback Malik Willis checked in for the final two plays of the game.
One incompletion and a sack later, the clock ran out and Green Bay lost to Philadelphia, 34-29.
About Jordan Love
Before his time in the league, the Bakersfield, California native played at USU from 2016-19. During his time with the Aggies, Love threw for 8,600 yards, 60 touchdowns, and 29 interceptions with a completion rate of 61 percent.
In 2020, the Packers traded up to select Love with the No. 26 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
During his rookie campaign, the former USU standout was inactive for each of Green Bay’s games.
Love saw limited action in his second and third seasons with the Packers and continued to serve as the backup to four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers. Following the 2022 season, the Packers traded Rodgers to the New York Jets. The Rodgers trade paved the way for Love to be Green Bay’s QB1 in 2023.
