According to Ryan Wood of USA Today, head coach Matt LaFleur said Love didn’t need a knee procedure after the season.
“Matt LaFleur says Jordan Love did not need a knee procedure after season. He didn’t say how much knee injury affected Love last season, but LaFleur admired how his quarterback gutted through it,” Wood wrote.
While the knee injury could’ve impacted Love more than LaFleur wants to admit, it’s a promising sign that he didn’t have offseason surgery.
Most importantly, it sounds like Love will be ready to go for training camp, a massive one for the youngster heading into his third season as a full-time starter after taking over for Aaron Rodgers.
Love threw for 3,389 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 15 games.
The Packers have continued to grow under Love, and that’s a positive sign.
However, at some point, Green Bay and Love will need to get over the hump and start winning games in the playoffs.
The growing and honeymoon phase is over, entering year three, and it’s safe to say Love and the Packers understand that.
The Packers will have a chance to improve their roster over the next few weeks and months in the draft, free agency, and trades. There are a few areas of need, including a true No. 1 wide receiver for the Utah State product.
