NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jordan Love (groin) is “determined” to play in Week 9 against the Lions.
Rapoport said an MRI on Love’s injured groin did not reveal a long-term injury. Love, Rapoport, said, would not have to be 100 percent recovered to suit up for an important Week 9 game against division rival Detroit. If Love is able to practice by Friday, he should be good to go against the Lions. If not, Malik Willis — who has been excellent as the backup for the oft-injured Love — would get another start.
