how long is jordan love out

Jordan Love is currently out with a concussion and has only been ruled out for the Packers’ Week 17 game against the Baltimore Ravens; there is no confirmed multi-week timetable yet, as his return depends on clearing the NFL’s concussion protocol. In other words, he is “out at least this week,” and his status beyond that will be decided as doctors and independent neurologists clear him step by step.

What is known right now

  • Jordan Love suffered a concussion in the Week 16 overtime loss to the Chicago Bears after a helmet-to-helmet hit in the second quarter and did not return to that game.
  • The Packers later downgraded him to out for their Week 17 matchup against the Ravens, and announced that Malik Willis is expected to start in his place.
  • Officially, the team has only said he will miss that one game; there has been no public announcement that he is out for the rest of the regular season or playoffs.

How long could a concussion keep him out?

  • NFL concussion protocol does not come with a fixed number of days; some players return the following week, while others miss multiple games, depending on symptoms and clearance tests.
  • Given that Green Bay has already clinched a playoff spot, several fans and analysts expect the team to be extra cautious and give him full time to recover rather than rushing him back, especially after a visibly hard helmet-to-helmet collision.

Practical takeaway for “how long is he out?”

  • As of now, the only certain answer is: he is out for Week 17 vs. the Ravens, and anything beyond that is still to be determined by the protocol and team decisions.
  • Expect updates closer to the next game week; if he progresses through protocol smoothly and is symptom-free, he could be back as soon as the following game, but a longer absence is also possible with head injuries.
