Packers list 6 players on first injury report of Week 2 vs. Colts

The Green Bay Packers listed six players — including quarterback Jordan Love — on the team’s first injury report of Week 2.

Love, who has a knee injury, was the only player who did not participate during Wednesday’s practice. Four others, including two starters, were limited.

Here’s the injury report:

CB Corey Ballentine (oblique): Limited
DL Kenny Clark (toe): Limited
LB Edgerrin Cooper (knee): Full participation
RB Josh Jacobs (back): Limited
RB MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring): Limited
QB Jordan Love (knee): Did not participate

The Packers continue to leave the door open to Love playing, even if Malik Willis is being prepared as the starting quarterback. Coach Matt LaFleur said Love could play without practicing just as long as he’s medically cleared and confident enough in the knee to play.

Five of the injuries on the Packers’ injury report are new. The only pre-existing injury was Lloyd’s hamstring injury. The rookie running back was inactive for the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles but could make his NFL debut this week as the No. 3 running back.

The injuries to Jacobs, the starting running back, and Clark, a key defender up front, will be vital to watch this week.

Meanwhile, the Colts listed five players on the injury report Wednesday:

S Julian Blackmon (shoulder): Did not participate
DL DeForest Buckner (back): Did not participate
WR Josh Downs (ankle): Limited
K Matt Gay (hernia): Full participation
DE Kwity Paye (hamstring): Did not participate

Blackmon, Buckner and Paye are all starters on Gus Bradley’s defense, which gave up 29 points in a loss to the Houston Texans in Week 1.

The Packers and Colts will provide two more injury report: An update on Thursday, and a final injury report with status designations on Friday.
