Handed his first NFL start Love had a decent outing. Registering a little over 100 passing yards and touchdown, Love looked in great form until late in the second quarter of their tie against the Houston Texans, when he picked up a knock.

Sacked by the Texans defense, Jordan Love was slightly rattled and taken off as a precaution. While the QB hasn’t picked up any serious injury, the Packers are choosing not to risk Love for their second preseason game of this year.
Thus with third-stringer Kurk Benkert being the only available option for the Packers, the franchise knew they needed reinforcements.

With Jordan Love’s shoulder still being monitored, the Packers decided to bring back quarterback Jake Dolegala to provide cover in the QB area.

The QB spent time with the side this offseason before being cut in July alongside QB Blake Bortles as Aaron Rodgers returned for practice following his hiatus.
Dolegala has spent time with the Cincinnati Bengals before when he was signed by the franchise as a free agent back in 2019. A backup at Cincinnati, he is yet to play a snap in the league.
He briefly made appearances for the Patriots’ practice squad before training with the Green Bay Packers during this offseason.
