According to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has a “Grade 1-slash-2” MCL sprain. That’s notable, as this seems to be the first mention of the grade of Love’s knee injury that he suffered in the Packers’ season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil.
Per Dr. Matt Matava, who currently serves as the NFL’s Chairman of their Research and Innovation Committee, a Grade 1 tear, often called a sprain, signifies a mild injury, while a Grade 2 tear signifies that an MCL is partially torn.
