Due to Aaron Rodgers’ uncertain future with the team, coach Matt LaFleur is doing everything possible to get Love ready should he be asked to take the opening snap at New Orleans on Sept.
Perhaps it’s understandable why Bortles, a seventh-year pro with 73 career starts and 2,634 passing attempts under his belt, was pushed to the back burner so LaFleur could focus on last year’s No.
Love worked with a skeleton crew on Tuesday, with all four returning starting offensive linemen, the three top receivers and two top tight ends skipping the final week of the voluntary practices.
Love was 8-of-15 passing in the 7-on-7 period and a perfect 9-of-9 in the 11-on-11 session, though the tempo appeared to be throttled back a hair for the 11-on-11.
“My mindset this whole offseason’s been to get ready, get myself ready, and that’s been my mindset since I got here,” Love said last week.
