The Green Bay Packers got some encouraging news on Sunday coming out of their preseason opener against the Houston Texans on Saturday. While quarterback Jordan Love’s day ended early after getting “dinged” a bit on a hit late in the first half, his shoulder evidently suffered no lasting damage.
That’s good news for a young player who needs all the training camp and preseason reps he can get. In his first game action, Love looked inconsistent, with one exceptional drive and a handful of duds in two quarters of action. The challenge for a young player like Love is of course to become more consistent and string together more series like the touchdown drive he led in the second quarter, and the best way to do it is with more reps.
