Overview

• Jordan Love underwent ligament repair on his non-throwing left thumb during the preseason window and is expected to be fully healthy for the Week 1 opener.
• Head coach Matt LaFleur has revised practice plans to limit Love’s throwing volume, even considering controlled 7-on-7 drills to monitor his recovery.
• Second-year back MarShawn Lloyd re-aggravated a hamstring on a 33-yard catch against the Colts and will miss an unspecified amount of time, casting doubt on his role behind Josh Jacobs.
• Rookie defensive lineman Barryn Sorrell exited the same game with a knee injury and is projected to miss multiple weeks.
• The spate of soft-tissue injuries has prompted coaches to reassess reserve running backs and scrutinize medical protocols to bolster player availability.
