In a startling turn of events, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love collapsed during a team practice on Monday, reportedly due to heat exhaustion. The incident occurred as the team was undergoing an intense workout session amid unusually high temperatures.
Love, who has been the team’s starting quarterback since the departure of Aaron Rodgers, was seen visibly struggling with the heat before collapsing to the ground. Medical staff quickly attended to him, and he was subsequently taken to a nearby facility for evaluation.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur addressed the media following the incident, stating, “Jordan was experiencing symptoms of heat exhaustion. He’s in stable condition now and is being closely monitored by our medical team. We’re taking every precaution to ensure his health and safety.”
The Packers have been practicing in the scorching summer heat as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season. Temperatures during the practice were reported to be in the mid-90s, with high humidity levels contributing to the sweltering conditions.
Love’s condition has raised concerns about the team’s training regimen and the potential risks associated with practicing in extreme weather. The Packers are expected to review their protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Fans and teammates alike have expressed their support for Love on social media, wishing him a speedy recovery. As of now, there is no official word on whether this incident will impact his availability for the upcoming games.
The Packers organization is expected to release a further update on Love’s condition in the coming days.
