The Green Bay Packers return to Lambeau Field on Sunday for their first NFC North matchup of the season with the Minnesota Vikings. And the game also marks the return of Jordan Love, who is recovering from a knee injury after missing the last two games.

Vikings running back Aaron Jones, also back in Green Bay as a free agent for the first time since signing with the Vikings, has helped Minnesota get off to a 3-0 start.

Reporter Tom Silverstein moderates his in-game chat, where he provides analysis and answers your questions.

Jordan Love is active today against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback will officially miss just two games after suffering a knee injury that sidelined him late in the team's opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a best-case scenario for the Packers, who initially assumed Love could be out for at least a month because of the torn medial ligament (MCL) in his left knee. The Packers have won their last two games without Love, but their franchise quarterback returns in time to face the NFC North's last undefeated team at home.

It's far from the ideal scenario for the Packers' defense. Cornerbacks Jaire Alexander (hamstring/groin) and Carrington Valentine (ankle) are inactive against the Vikings.
