Ian Rapoport gives an update on Jordan Love's injury after the Packers' game against the Eagles.

however from the Sunday headlines from Ian raport take it away Rich a sigh of relief for the Green Bay Packers everyone associated with the organization and certainly their fans you see Jordan love leaving a game like that just six seconds to go goes down with an injury it wasn't clear for at the time if it was ankle if it was knee the ankle is fine and I'd say most importantly the ACL in the knee is fine my understanding is it is an MCL sprain between grade one and grade two probably knocks him out a few weeks my understanding is about three weeks is probably the timeline for Jordan love could he beat it certainly he could but we will see if he's able to do that either way love not going to play for the next couple games it is unclear as of right now whether or not it'll be Malik Willis who is their backup quarterback they acquired just a couple weeks ago or whether it'll be Shawn Clifford their backup last year who was on the practice squad we will see who their starter is going forward yeah I I mean when when sometimes you hear reports and you see something uh on a on a roster move like August 27th Packers acquire Malik Willis and cut Sean Clifford and then resign him in the practice part you're like oh okay that's a little bit more than an okay now right I mean like no doubt How concerned are you right now about the Packers yeah I I'm concerned you know this the team I I love growing up and the whole thing so I have a real interest in them but uh it's a shame you you know you sign a guy to a $55 million contract and boom he gets hurt first game it's like gosh darn it um so I'm looking at their schedule because I don't know that they're going to sign somebody else they might have to play with Malik Willis or Clifford right and so can they win some games while he's on the menend and you're looking at the Colts um you know with with with Anthony Richardson a Young quarterback all right that's at home Lambo field crowd got to get going man you got to help him out and then they're at Tennessee right with Will Levitz that's a Young quarterback again and then maybe with the Vikings s darnold's a new quarterback so it the meat of their schedule every game's tough but the tougher games are in the back nine at least they got a chance to hang on and win some of these games while they're waiting for Jordan love what an unfortunate situation Jordan get back man we need you and so uh we'll see what happens but it'll be interesting to see if they sign someone else yeah I mean anytime a starting quarterback in this league gets hurt you're concerned about their team especially a team that you believe is going to make a push in the NFC coach you already shared the schedule but to me you lost your first game already so you don't want to fall too far behind I know we're being optimistic hey just three weeks for Jordan love but what if it's more towards the six weeks for Jordan love can they go and sign somebody like Ryan tanah Hill off the street can they make a trade for somebody that started because I'm not sure Malik Willis is ready to be a starter in the National Football League quite yet but I will give some love to Matt lefl I think he does an incredible job at scheming opportunities for his quarterback they went went and got Josh Jacobs for this exact purpose to where we can lean on him a little bit uh and then you know the quarterback can be a complimentary piece without Jordan out there so I think he does some great things we'll scheme some things he'll keep a lot of these games close but they are going to need their quarterback to make plays and that will be the big question no matter who it is at the quarterback position can those guys do enough to keep their head above water however long Jordan is out yeah I agree with what what you both said with the reason I'm concerned is because of statements like Matt laflor saying we don't need a number one this is exactly why you need a number one okay what is the conversation now what do you say we talking about a number one number one receiver number one receiver a number one receiver okay what's the conversation what do you say to Malik Willis usually when you have a number one you say hey if you get in trouble go to this guy on third down and long go to this guy if you need a go to go to him they don't have that right now do they have a lot of viable receivers yes but do they have a true number one no and that's why it's very important that you need a number one they didn't look great with Jordan love so without him let me just dive in a little deeper than that when you talk about a number one what it does for a Young quarterback is a lot of times you can put three receivers over to the right hand side and if you got that dude back to the left you can basically tell your quarterback hey if you get one-on-one if they stack the Box against the run and you got one-on-one with that dude yes throw it to that D and so there's some guys in the league you see you know Joe burrow and Jamar Chase are those every time he sees that guy one-on-one game's easy let me just play pitch and catch over there so that's where it can help a Young quarterback if you've got that dude I don't know Jaden Reed looked like a number one to me he looked good he looked good but they don't usually put him backside in that kind of a situation he's more of a slot guy so it affects that ability to just go oh sure one-on-one we don't really have that as much and Josh Jacobs did get the Run game going a little bit in the second half they got to count on him big time y again you said it's the Colts who by the way have the Texans at home today in a rematch of What was a the facto playoff game in the final week of last year's regular season Kurt uh Kyle take it away uh Rich I just had a couple other takeaways from the opening weekend specifically about the Chiefs you know who would have just thrown up watching Chiefs Ravens Sun Sue because there's nothing in the Art of War that says let the best team get the fastest player of course Xavier worthy scored on his first touch of course he's going to make a massive play in the title game cuz the other teams including the bills who traded the pick let them get at him Sun Su my enemy's enemy is my friend don't enter a battle you can't win and don't let the Chiefs get the fastest player ever you morons do something about it cuz you know who else would be complaining this guy right here Jessie Pinkman Albuquerque area meth cook cuz you know the gift he's watching worthy with reading he says he can't keep getting away with this yes he can Jesse because everyone else is letting him one more takeaway uh early in the game Chiefs Ravens if you can bring up the video tape please uh I'm I'm thrilled she's back I really am for three reasons one it's great to have t to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars take it away Cameron wolf Rich Tu aunga vioa and Trevor Lawrence battled today for the right to be the king of Florida two quarterbacks paid 200 plus Million Dollar Deals this offseason a vote of confidence from their teams but also pressure ratches up for them to take their teams and themselves from good to Great Jaguars tight end Evan Ingram told me is controlled for Trevor Lawrence he's much more controlled throughout the building through the locker room his Expressions everything I feel like he is coming through his own for Tua the word is confidence Tyreek Hill said he is overc communicating with us so we see it how he sees it just like I had it with Patrick Mahomes he also said Mike McDaniel is giving Tua the keys to the car and it's a beautiful thing to see back to you rich Cameron this is the third time Tua and Trevor have faced off in the same game first was the national championship 2019 nice throw from tour there but Trevor Lawrence had 347 yards and three scores this might have been the night the entire league fell in love with him they crushed the Crimson Tide 44-6 and sure enough three years later Trevor Lawrence got his first career NFL win against Tua in the Dolphins leading a 10-point comeback to win on a game-winning field goal in London and today will be number three between the two mooch Kurt take it away all right thanks Rich all right Kurt let's talk about who we would rather have to build a franchise around which quarterback and there let me go first okay all right guys I got a lot to say about these guys I love this guy here man but he's got like a track team a 4x1 100 track team they would have medled in the Olympics I think and he's having a great year he's getting well paid but I really like this guy right here I like his size he got the hair going on you know what I mean he's got the arm Talent he's got running ability Trevor Lawrence now he's got a new contract too and I think he's just has a better upside doesn't have quite the The Supporting Cast that Tua has but adding Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas is certainly going to help so I think I would lean a little bit towards this big guy right here Trevor Lawrence how about you yeah for me too both of these guys have proven themselves to be good NFL quarterbacks neither one of them has taken that step over to show that they can be great and win in the big moments and win against the best teams in the league so I would probably lean towards Trevor too but let me say this if I'm running Miami's offense I'm taking two of because nobody's better at what they do right reading it they got a little Zone read what I call an RPO naked and his ability to anticipate and the accuracy to move guys with his eyes and find those little Windows they love to play inside the numbers I'm not sure anybody throws with better timing and anticipation here off the play action watch he's going to manipulate Patrick Queen right here all I need is a little bit of movement going throw it right behind his ear that is a perfect throw right in between the hashes and you're going to see it one more time where do we want to attack we want to attack attack inside he's got such a great feeli not a lot of quarterbacks in the league are great at throwing inside Tua is great at it so I would probably lean towards Trevor as well but in that Miami offense what to look for today I really like this guy did you just say did you make this up an RPO naked what is the RPO naked so it's an RPO so it's they're reading it it's a read pass op a run pass option so they can hand it off but when they pull it they run a naked bootleg over to that side so there you have it we educate on this show thank you for that let me send it over to Stacy Dales in the windy city yeah mooch let's see what the quarterbacks Caleb Williams about to make his regular season debut and obviously he hasn't played in a game a regular season game but he's already earned the trust the admiration and the respect from his teammates recently voted a team captain as a rookie by his peers I asked him what it means and he told me I'm extremely Greatful to be voted a captain on a team like this with so much talent so many veterans not many are actually Nam Captain but Talent is the operative word when it comes to expectations the bear staff have for their franchise quarterback there's two things that stand out one as both head coach Matt eberl and GM Ryan PS have talked about lean on and Trust on that Talent the operative word and number two especially for Ryan PS not only lean on the talent richiz in but surely if you're Caleb Williams you're special use those instincts and be special when the moment calls you to be special Rich all right Stacy is a well famous Chicago and Jimmy serrrano would say go figure that they made him a captain well I mean why not they've never had a 4,000 yard passer and they've never had a 30 touchdown suit why don't we show a Cole J Cutler looks miserable well he always did he did let's be honest Caleb Williams coming in with the hype train on an L quite a bit looking for W's saw Kyle I mean you you you You' got R dun and and when Justin Fields showed up like well good luck surviving behind that offensive line the defensive pece said they got everything do they it's a wonderful day Rich it's a beautiful man take a look perfect teeth perfect pads perfect everything uh rich I think we need to put this in the Lexicon of the greatest searches of all time so you have Atlantis okay you have the Holy Grail yes you have a Cowboys title game and you have a Bears quarterback and I think that we're finally there I think the answer is I think he's going to be the guy I hope he's going to be the guy and richm we're all parents here and there's something expectant parents do it's called nesting when the baby is coming you get the nursery ready and it's the right color and the right mobile and the right crib Ryan PES is a great general manager he's an incredible Nester he has been preparing this nursery for 6 months all the toys all the linemen all the receivers all the running backs I'm almost to the point Rich where I look at Caleb I'm like look kid you better be good because I don't know what else they can do for you we drafted you we got all the toys now go play and I think he's going to they even got him a soft entry Titans at home is pretty soft go get him well I I I thought you were going to go when you talked about searches Chicago Dr Richard Kimble as well that's another you find that man and they found him Rich they found him he's on Pro [Music] out one love two BL out f second serve a sh [Applause] second serve out out point
