“Okay, we’ll find out, right?” LaFleur replied. “I know he’s working hard every day. I think (quarterback coach) Luke Getsy has worked well with him, grooming him. Sure, most of his reps have been on the scout team, but … I know he takes every rep very seriously.”
Love has played just 18 snaps in mop-up duty so far this regular season, with 15 snaps in the team’s 38-3 blowout loss to the New Orleans Saints in the regular season opener and the other three coming next week. To close the win over the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field.
“I’m there for him any way I know the other nine guys will be,” Aaron Jones said after practice on Wednesday. “We don’t know what it’ll be like there, but to tell him before the game, ‘Hey, just play free, play your game, (do what you’ve been doing since (you were)) a little Baby. You don’t have to do anything special. We’ve got your back.'”
Love took all the pictures during practice on Wednesday as he was the only quarterback left on the roster. 3 quarterback Kurt Benkert, who has spent all season on the practice squad after turning heads during the presidency, announced he had contracted COVID-19 and was placed on the reserve list earlier in the week.
“So everyone practices and comes to work on a daily basis. There are a lot of unknowns in this business,” LaFleur said. “Every guy is basically a play away from being there. You have to stress the importance of preparing like you’re just starting out. This is for times like when something comes up. You have to be ready to go. Few people get only one chance in this job. You have to make the most of it.”
