Packers' Quarterback Love Takes Hit, Watson's Knee Injury Pauses Game

During today's match-up against the Bears, Packers quarterback Jordan Love found himself on the sidelines after a hit to his throwing arm. He felt a tingle and numbness, suggesting a funny bone injury. Although he appeared fine throwing on the sidelines, the Packers played it safe and kept him out. With their playoff seeding largely unchanged by today's game, they switched to backup quarterback Malik Willis. Running back Josh Jacobs also took a break to rest before the playoffs. The news wasn't as positive for wide receiver Christian Watson, who suffered a knee injury. He had to be carted off the field and was ruled out for the rest of the game. Injuries are a real concern in football, and today's game highlighted that. The question arises: should players push through minor injuries, or is caution the better strategy, especially with playoffs on the horizon?
