Packers QB Jordan Love will miss Saturday's game against Ravens

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love won’t play Saturday night against the Baltimore Ravens a week after leaving a game with a concussion.

The Packers announced Friday that Love had been ruled out for Saturday’s game. Love had been listed as questionable Thursday on an injury report that referenced his concussion as well as an issue with his left shoulder.

This will be the first full game that Love has missed this season.

Love’s situation means both starting quarterbacks may miss the game on Saturday night. The Ravens have listed two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson as doubtful because of the back injury that knocked him out of a 28-24 loss to the New England Patriots last week.

Tyler Huntley, who took over for Jackson in the Patriots game, likely would start in Jackson’s place if needed. Green Bay’s backup quarterback is Malik Willis, who is questionable for Saturday’s game.

Love suffered the concussion when he absorbed a helmet-to-helmet hit from Chicago’s Austin Booker in the second quarter a 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears last week. Willis took over from there and hurt his right (throwing) shoulder while getting sacked on the final play of the fourth quarter, though he remained in the game for overtime.

Love had been a limited practice participant this week. Willis also practiced on a limited basis Tuesday and Thursday, though he didn’t practice Wednesday because of an illness. Willis started two games in place of an injured Love last season, and the Packers won both of them.

Green Bay’s only other quarterback is Clayton Tune, who was signed to the practice squad in late August. Tune has appeared in 13 games but has made just one career start, with the Arizona Cardinals in 2023.

The Packers (9-5-1) clinched a playoff spot Thursday when the Detroit Lions lost 23-10 at Minnesota, but they still have incentive to keep winning to try improving their seeding. They can win the NFC North if they win their last two games and Chicago drops its final two games.

Baltimore (7-8) can make the playoffs only if it wins Saturday, the Pittsburgh Steelers lose at Cleveland on Sunday and the Ravens win at Pittsburgh in Week 18.

LONDON (AP) — Jack Draper, who has played just one tennis match since Wimbledon because of injury, will not be fit for next month’s Australian Open.

The 10th-ranked Draper's 2025 season was prematurely curtailed by bone bruising in his left arm.

“Unfortunately, me and my team have decided not to head out to Australia this year," the 24-year-old British player said in a video on X on Friday. “It’s a really, really tough decision. Obviously Australia being a Grand Slam, it’s one of the biggest tournaments in our sport.

“However, I’ve had this injury for a long time. I’m at the very, very end stages of the process and to step back on court into best-of-five-set tennis so soon just doesn’t seem like a smart decision right now."

Draper withdrew from his second-round match at the US Open in August before calling time on his season soon after. He was beaten by Marin Cilic in the second round of Wimbledon in July.

The Australian Open in Melbourne starts on January 18.
