Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is expected to return Sunday versus the Minnesota Vikings after missing the last two weeks with a sprained MCL, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Love injured his knee in the final moments of the season opener versus the Philadelphia Eagles in a game that marked the NFL's debut in Brazil. Love threw for 260 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in a losing effort.
The Packers managed to go 2-0 without Love, as Malik Willis picked up wins over the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans.
Love, who inked a four-year, $220-million extension over the summer to solidify him as the Packers' long-term QB, will return to face a Vikings defense that is allowing only 10 points per game.
