Overview

• Quarterback Jordan Love underwent thumb ligament surgery on his non-throwing hand this week and is on track for a full Week 1 recovery under a controlled throwing-rep plan.
• Second-year running back MarShawn Lloyd exited the preseason win over Indianapolis with a hamstring issue, prompting coach Matt LaFleur to confirm he will miss time and casting doubt on his opener availability.
• Lloyd’s recurring soft-tissue problems and a 2024 emergency appendectomy have limited him to one career game, raising fresh concerns about his reliability behind starter Josh Jacobs.
• Rookie defensive lineman Barryn Sorrell also suffered a knee injury on Saturday and is expected to miss multiple weeks, further straining Green Bay’s depth chart.
• LaFleur has publicly questioned the medical staff’s approach to these setbacks as the Packers evaluate backups like Emmanuel Wilson and consider potential IR or elevation moves.
