GREEN BAY — As good as the news was that quarterback Jordan Love was able to fully participate in Thursday’s in-pads practice at Clarke Hinkle Field — and it was undeniably great news for the Green Bay Packers — the fact that rookie safety Evan Williams took part for a second straight day and appears good to go for Sunday had to be a close second.

The Eagles' passing attack looked like it had taken off the last time Jalen Hurts played a full game in Week 15 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and then the quarterback got hurt.

McKee, in his second year out of Stanford, threw two more touchdown passes after replacing Pickett and then made his first NFL start Sunday and defeated the Giants, 20-13. He completed 27 of 41 throws for 269 yards and two touchdowns while playing almost exclusively with fellow backups.

Packers quarterback Jordan Love said he could use his normal grip on the football Wednesday but that his arm also had soreness while throwing.

Hurts has been out since suffering a concussion on Dec. 22, but could be trending towards a return on Sunday for the playoffs.

“ Jalen Hurts is slated to be at Eagles practice today, sources said. A notable step forward as the QB works his way out of concussion protocol and prepares to start in Sunday’s first round playoff game vs. the Packers,” Eagles reporter Jeff McLane wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

After 18 weeks, the NFL playoffs are finally here. Over the next three days we’ll have six wild-card games to decide who will move on to the divisional round. The schedule is as follows: With a multitude of storylines to watch, NBC News’ Rohan Nadkarni and Andrew Grief and NBC Sports’ Patrick Daugherty are here to break it down from every angle.

Simply put, I’m nervous for Sam Darnold in his first ever postseason action, especially coming off a dispiriting outing against the Lions in the Vikings’ season finale. And though defensive coordinator Brian Flores can concoct a great game plan, there’s nothing Stafford hasn’t seen.
