Quarterback Jordan Love headlines a crowded list of limited participants for the Green Bay Packers.

The Green Bay Packers’ initial injury report on Wednesday, Oct. 21, revealed quite a bit of new information.

It should be noted that the Packers didn't officially practice, so these are all just estimations.

In the biggest surprise of the week, running back Josh Jacobs didn't see his name on the report, so he should be a full-go in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions.

That said, star quarterback Jordan Love was listed as a limited participant due to a back injury.

Not only that, but his top wide receivers, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, were both listed as limited participants as well.

Love appears on his first injury report of the season

It's not like Love necessarily got obliterated by the Dallas Cowboys, but he was sacked three times, one of which was by his former teammate, Kenny Clark.

Love has been sacked 13 times in six games this season, and he also tied his season high with four carries on Sunday Night Football.

Green Bay has always been careful about using him in the run game, but they dialed up a perfect zone read against fellow former Packers defender Rashan Gary.

Packers fans must take a deep breath because this back "injury" is only an estimation, and head coach Matt LaFleur made it clear the team is trying to do everything they can to stay healthy coming off a primetime game with Thursday Night Football looming on Oct. 29.

What would this offense look like without Golden and Watson?

To say not having either Golden or Watson on the field is alarming would be an understatement.

This is one of, if not the most dynamic receiving duos in the entire league right now, and each had a big drop or two against the Dallas Cowboys, but the team's confidence in them, specifically Golden, is through the roof.

Seeing Watson's name on an injury report is never good, knowing what he's dealt with in his career. He was listed as limited due to an ankle injury in this one, while Golden is dealing with an apparent shoulder injury.

Every other Packers player on the report

Offensive guard Aaron Banks was listed as limited due to a knee/toe injury, but thankfully he was the only offensive lineman on the report.

Defensively, cornerbacks Brandon Cisse (shoulder/neck) and Benjamin St-Juste (hamstring) were both limited. 

Defensive tackles Anthony Campbell (ankle) and Jordon Riley (Achilles) were also limited. Remember, Riley is currently in his 21-day practice window after coming off the IR.

The only player to be listed as "did not participate" was WR Bo Melton (back). Fellow wideout Savion Williams (ankle) was also limited.
