Packers HC Matt LaFleur makes major Jordan Love decision for Week 18 vs. Vikings after clinching NFC playoffs spot

Jordan Love has played his last game for the Green Bay Packers in the 2025 regular season. Head coach LaFleur informed on Thursday that he will prioritize the postseason over the Week 18 game.

LaFleur plans to rest his starter in Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. He will start Clayton Tune instead.

Jordan Love has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol after missing last week's game vs. the Ravens. He suffered a concussion in the Week 16 game vs. the Bears.

"If he's the backup on game day and if something bad happened, then you've got not many other options," LaFleur stated. "But the intent, I would say, is not to play him."

The Packers are locked into the NFC’s No. 7 seed and will open the Wild Card round on the road, potentially against the Chicago Bears or Philadelphia Eagles.
