00:00Let's go back to Friday night in Sao Paolo as the Packers were

00:06trying to come back late in the fourth quarter. Jordan Love

00:09injured his knee and was out. The Packers are saying right

00:12now, it's an injury to the MCL. He avoids what many feared an

00:16ACL tear that would have ended his season. What did you see on

00:21the play in Brazil? What is the timetable in your estimation

00:25for Jordan Love to return to the field? Now, full disclosure,

00:29I took my son to a high school football game, so I was

00:32watching on my iPad and with the crowd around me, etcetera

00:36and obviously very late in the game, but we never expected or

00:40suspected or worried about an ACL tear. It just wasn't the

00:44right mechanism from the get go. We said this is a injury

00:49where he's likely to miss some time, but it's not surgery and

00:53I still think and I thought initially and I still think he

00:56has a chance to avoid injured reserve. Now, technically the

00:59Packers really haven't said much of anything yet. They

01:02haven't had to. There's no official media reporting. It's

01:05reporters saying it by video. He got his left ankle trapped,

01:09which can lead to a mild high ankle. That's what we were

01:12saying and the associated injury was the MCL and that

01:16often comes in combination and the pop that everyone focused

01:20on the knee. We never thought it was that big of a deal. It

01:22was a temporary shifting of the kneecap as a result of the

01:24MCL right now. Look, it's definitely no surgery. It's not

01:29season ending. Let's rejoice in that. The question is when

01:33look with him being a quarterback lead leg. They

01:36often wear braces. I don't think it's impossible and it

01:40would be a Packers dream to have him back week four. I

01:43think they play the division rival Vikings. Then that's not

01:47unheard of if he goes out on IR, he won't be back till week

01:51six at the earliest. So if there's any chance that love

01:55can return before missing four games, the Packers will not put

01:59him on injured reserve, but they obviously have to make a

02:02move at quarterback. Are they really going to start Malik

02:04Willis who's just got there and is learning the system?
