Is Jordan Love playing this week?

The latest news from The Athletic's Matt Schneidman is positive:

"Jordan Love can’t officially talk with reporters while in concussion protocol, but his receivers offered encouraging reviews of his practice performance. While nothing is official, it appears Love will play Saturday night against the Ravens."

There was actually double concern at the start of the week.

Not only was Love hurting, but backup Malik Willis was also dealing with an injury concern.

Willis actually picked up an illness this week, too, but he sounds like he's trending toward being available, too.

Love is obviously the best option, but Willis wouldn't be terrible if it came to that.

Their third QB is practice squad passer Clayton Tune. He'd obviously be a last resort.

Right now, it sounds like Love will be just fine.
