Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love’s right elbow is improving and he didn’t receive an injury status for Sunday’s NFC wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Love practiced in full Friday for the second straight day and his throwing arm continues to progress. He injured it during last weekend’s regular-season finale against the Chicago Bears.
“He did well,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said after practice. “Today was a good day.”
Love passed for 3,389 yards and 25 touchdowns against 11 interceptions in 15 games this season.
Packers backup quarterback Malik Willis injured in his right (throwing) thumb against the Bears. He was a full practice participant on Friday for the second straight day and is also cleared for the game.
Green Bay will be without receiver Christian Watson, who sustained an ACL tear in his right knee against the Bears. Safety Zayne Anderson (concussion) also was ruled out.
Five Packers are listed as questionable, including standout linebacker Quay Walker (ankle). Walker missed the past three games.
The others are offensive tackle Andre Dillard (concussion), safety Evan Williams (quadriceps) and defensive linemen Brenton Cox Jr. (foot) and Tedarrell Slaton (ankle).
