Overview

• General manager Brian Gutekunst confirmed Love underwent a minor procedure to repair a ligament in his left, non-throwing thumb and will miss at least one week of team activities.
• Love will sit out this week’s practices in Indianapolis and Saturday’s preseason game against the Colts, and coach Matt LaFleur has ruled him out for the final tune-up in Seattle.
• The injury occurred on Love’s last snap in the preseason loss to the Jets when he was sacked by Jay Tufele, though he remained in practice Monday throwing exclusively with his right hand.
• Malik Willis, acquired from Tennessee last season, will serve as the primary on-field backup and is expected to take on increased reps during Love’s absence.
• Green Bay opens the regular season against the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field, underscoring the importance of having Love back on track for Week 1.
