Packers QB Love available to play; CB Jaire Alexander out Sunday against Vikings

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is returning on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings after missing two games with a knee injury.

The Packers didn’t list Love among their inactive players for Sunday’s game after he practiced on a limited basis for a second straight week. Love has been out since injuring his left medial collateral ligament during the final series of a season-opening 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 6 in Brazil.

Love arrived at Lambeau Field wearing a Brett Favre No. 4 Packers jersey. Favre, who spent most of his Hall of Fame career with the Packers but spent his final two seasons with the Vikings, announced Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Favre made the disclosure as part of his testimony to a congressional committee about a welfare misspending scandal in Mississippi.

With Love unavailable the past two weeks, Malik Willis has led the Packers to victories over the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans. Willis went a combined 25 of 33 for 324 yards with two touchdown passes and no interceptions in those two games. He also rushed for 114 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries.
