Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was active for the first time since injuring his left knee in the season opener and is expected to start Sunday against the visiting Minnesota Vikings.
Love practiced all week and was listed Friday as questionable on the injury report, the same status he had the previous two weeks but was inactive for both games.
Love was 17-for-34 passing for 260 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the season-opening 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 6 in Brazil. He sprained the MCL in the final seconds.
Malik Willis led the Packers (2-1) to consecutive wins while Love was out, completing 73.5 percent of his passes for 324 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Willis is also averaging 9.5 yards per carry, rushing for 114 yards on 12 carries.
Packers starting cornerback Jaire Alexander (quad) was inactive for the first time this season. He had been listed as questionable, while cornerback Carrington Valentine (ankle) was doubtful. Offensive lineman Jordan Morgan already was ruled out.
They are on the inactive list along with safety Kitan Oladapo, offensive tackle Travis Glover and defensive linemen Brenton Cox Jr. and Colby Wooden.
Alexander, 27, started the first three games for the Packers and had 11 tackles and two interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown.
The Vikings (3-0) list of inactive players: quarterback Brett Rypien, linebacker Ivan Pace Jr., wide receiver Trishton Jackson, defensive lineman Levi Drake Rodriguez, offensive tackle Walter Rouse and cornerbacks Fabian Moreau and Dwight McGlothern.
