If the Green Bay Packers are going to meet the high expectations people have for them this season, they will likely have to get a win against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4.
To do that, they likely will need quarterback Jordan Love, who sprained his MCL in a Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, even though backup Malik Willis has played well in his absence.
Love participated in practice this week, albeit on a limited basis, and is listed as questionable for Sunday, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.

Love got off to a rough start last season after taking over for Aaron Rodgers, the franchise player who had been traded to the New York Jets.
He played poorly in September and October amidst doubts that he could be a star QB, but he got hot down the stretch, as did his team.
The Packers won nine games and made it into the NFC playoffs, where they upset the Dallas Cowboys in the wild-card round and were in position to defeat the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round.
Now sporting a 2-1 record, the Packers have a good deal of pressure on them to prove they weren’t merely a Cinderella team last year and that they’re a legitimate contender this time around.
After hosting the Vikings, they will visit the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5 before returning home to host the Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans.
