Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur says there's "a high level of concern" about the groin injury Jordan Love suffered during Sunday's game, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The signal-caller will undergo further evaluation, but there's optimism he avoided a long-term injury, sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Love left the 30-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the third quarter. He was listed as questionable to return but never did.
The star passer was visibly limping throughout most of the first half after landing awkwardly while attempting a pass. However, the 25-year-old - who missed two games earlier this season with a left ankle injury - didn't miss any plays in the first two quarters versus Jacksonville.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said at halftime that Love couldn't "really move," adding that Green Bay had to adjust its game plan for the second half against the Jaguars, according to Zach Kruse of The Packers Wire. Love eventually left the matchup midway through the third quarter and was replaced by Malik Willis.
Jordan Love went down and was slow to get up after this play.

Love completed 14 of 22 pass attempts for 196 yards and no touchdowns against one interception before exiting the contest.
Willis went 4-for-5 passing with 56 yards and one TD while adding 23 yards on the ground. The 25-year-old, who joined Green Bay as part of a trade from the Tennessee Titans this year, also led the game-winning drive that ended with a last-second Brandon McManus field goal to beat the Jaguars.
