The Packers' odds vs. the Titans on Sunday shortened amid news that quarterback Jordan Love practiced Wednesday.
It's the first time Love has seen the field since spraining his MCL in the team's season opener in Brazil vs. the Eagles. Notably, Love was not placed on the injured reserve, which would have necessitated a minimum absence of four games.
Instead, head coach Matt LaFleur left the door open for Love to return earlier. And on Wednesday, Love returned to action with a potential eye toward playing Sunday.
No Jayden Reed, Jordan Morgan or Elgton Jenkins for the #Packers today. Valentine went through stretch but stayed inside.

The Packers saw their odds fall from a consensus price of +3 on Wednesday morning to +1.5 at some shops later in the day. The best market price as of Wednesday night is at FanDuel at +2.5 (-115).
In a corresponding move, the Titans had been priced at the key number of -3 mere minutes before video and news was released that Love was practicing. Swiftly, those odds moved down to as low as -1.5 (-110) at Caesars.
Love injured his knee on the final drive of the aforementioned game against the Eagles while driving down the field, down five points with mere seconds to go. On a play in which he twisted his knee on an attempted dumpoff, Love had to be helped off the field by his teammates with plenty of nervous onlookers.
First, there was good news that it wasn't a more severe injury. Then, there was news that he was targeting Week 5 as his return date.
Now, that date might come as soon as Week 3.
