Jordan Love, Packers not concerned about rust entering Wild Card Weekend game vs. Bears

Our Summary

As the Green Bay Packers prepare to face the Chicago Bears in the Wild Card Weekend, quarterback Jordan Love downplays concerns about "rust" following a two-week absence due to injury and strategic rest. Love, who missed significant game time after a concussion against the Bears, believes that his practice routine has kept him ready for the playoffs. Packers coach Matt LaFleur supports this view, stating Love has shown strong performance in practice.

Running back Josh Jacobs also benefited from the break, recovering from a knee issue and feeling in top form ahead of the matchup. The discussion of rest versus rust continues to be a topic of debate as the Packers look to overcome their recent challenges at Soldier Field.
