Overview

• Love underwent surgery on his left UCL ligament in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and team medical staff described the procedure as minor and successful.
• Coach Matt LaFleur and GM Brian Gutekunst both stated Love is slated to rejoin practice activities next week and start Green Bay’s Sept. 7 opener against Detroit.
• Backup quarterback Malik Willis has been running first-team reps in camp and will start Saturday’s preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts.
• While some analysts have branded Love “injury prone,” team sources and medical experts emphasize that the repair to his non-throwing hand should not impair his passing mechanics.
• Receiver Jayden Reed has practiced in a walking boot for a strained foot but is expected to be available for Week 1, providing relief to a depleted receiver room.
