GREEN BAY, Wis. \u2013 Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love returned to practice on a rainy Thursday, perhaps a sign he\u2019ll be on the field for Sunday\u2019s game against\u00a0 the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n

Love moved gingerly while reporters were present, though the rain might have had as much to do with that as the groin injury sustained on Sunday at Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

He moved \u201clike he was limited,\u201d coach Matt LaFleur said, remaining as tight-lipped as possible about the status of his quarterback.<\/p>\n

Love was one of seven starters who did not practice on Wednesday. On Thursday, four of those players returned as limited participation but three remained out of action.<\/p>\n

RB Josh Jacobs (ankle)<\/strong> said missing practice on Wednesday was more about \u201cmanaging my body\u201d than the ankle that took him off the field at the end of the game. As expected, he practiced on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t never really feel it until after the game,\u201d he said on Wednesday. \u201cLike, you feel it in the game but it be all right. Then after the game when you get on the plane and it\u2019s swelled up, you kind of get off and like, \u2018Damn, it all settled in.\u2019 But I\u2019ll be all right.\u201d<\/p>\n

LG Elgton Jenkins (glute)<\/strong> typically does not practice on Wednesday but returns on Thursday. That was the case again this week.<\/p>\n

LT Rasheed Walker (knee) <\/strong>was back in action, as well. Walker and Jenkins are the only players who have played in every offensive snap this season.<\/p>\n

C Josh Myers (wrist)<\/strong> missed a second consecutive day. While he talked to reporters, he did everything with his right hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see,\u201d LaFleur said about his status for Sunday. \u201cWe\u2019ll give him up to gametime but, yeah, absolutely I\u2019m concerned about that, because he\u2019s a big part of our ability to go out there and operate at a high level on offense.\u201d<\/p>\n

CB Jaire Alexander (knee)<\/strong>, who limped off the field on the final defensive snap against the Jaguars, did not practice. He\u2019s allowed just one catch each of the last three weeks, according to Pro Football Focus and would be an enormous asset against Lions quarterback Jared Goff, who is on a historic hot streak.<\/p>\n

S Evan Williams (hamstring)<\/strong> missed a second consecutive day, as well. He \u201cfelt something pregame,\u201d coach Matt LaFleur said on Wednesday, and tried to play through it but made it through only 18 snaps.<\/p>\n

All eyes will be on Love this week. After missing practice on Wednesday, he took limited snaps while reporters were present on Thursday.<\/p>\n

After a ball-security period, the first period of the day has the three quarterbacks working with the four running backs. Usually, Love goes first (with Josh Jacobs) and last (with practice-squad player Ellis Merriweather). On Thursday, Love went first with Jacobs, Malik Willis went second (with Emanuel Wilson), Sean Clifford went third (with Chris Brooks) and Willis went fourth (with Merriweather).<\/p>\n

Was it a good sign that Love practiced on a wet and potentially slick field?<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, we\u2019ll see. He was limited today,\u201d LaFleur said.<\/p>\n

After missing two games with a knee injury and losing his return to the lineup against Minnesota, Love has helped the Packers win four consecutive games.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely frustrating\u201d to be injured again, he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not ideal. You wish you could just go through a season and be healthy and bounce back every week, but things pop up. Like I say all the time, control what you can control. So doing my best to just try and get through the week, do my best during treatment and get myself ready.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the mental aspect, you definitely got to work on that and just stay calm, understand that injuries happen, it\u2019s part of the game but it\u2019s definitely not ideal.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the potential absences of Alexander and Williams could be just as important against the Lions, who are No. 1 in scoring. When Williams exited the game at Jacksonville, the Jaguars\u2019 passing game got rolling.<\/p>\n

In Detroit, Goff didn\u2019t practice on Wednesday because of the ankle injury sustained last week but was full participation on Thursday.<\/p>\n
