While Love's health was in question this week, the Packers also hope to see a strengthened defense as linebacker Quay Walker (ankle) and safety Evan Williams (quadriceps), who each missed the last three regular-season games, are expected to return.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love's right elbow is improving and he didn't receive an injury status for Sunday's NFC wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Love practiced in full Friday for the second straight day and his throwing arm continues to progress.
