GREEN BAY, Wis. – Three weeks after spraining the MCL in his left knee during the season opener, Jordan Love returns to his post as the Green Bay Packers’ starting quarterback.

Love is active on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field. However, the Packers will be without top cornerback Jaire Alexander. Alexander, who was listed as questionable, is inactive with quad and groin injuries.

Love sat out two games, and the Packers (2-1) won both with Malik Willis as the fill-in starter, beat the Indianapolis Colts in the Week 2 home opener and won at the Tennessee Titans last week.

Love actually returned to practice the week of the Titans game and was scheduled to return last Sunday.

He said after Wednesday’s practice that his mobility had improved from the week before.

“Yeah, sure,” Love said. “I feel like I’m getting better every day, moving, exercising and feeling better.”

His injury occurred in the final seconds of his first game since signing a four-year, $220 million contract extension.

Initially, some thought Love could sit out three to six weeks, but when the Packers didn’t put Love on injured reserve, it meant they strongly believed he was out fewer than four games.

While Love played, the Packers did not sign Sean Clifford from the practice squad. Over the past two weeks, he had been elevated to backup quarterback.

With Alexander out, the team elevated cornerbacks Kamal Hadden and Robert Rochell from the practice squad to the active roster for game day.
