Chicago Bears linebacker Leonard Floyd, the team's top edge rusher, had surgery Sunday to repair a fracture in his right hand.
Bears head coach Matt Nagy confirmed the surgery to reporters Monday at Halas Hall, adding that the procedure "went well."
"We're staying optimistic for Green Bay," Nagy said, expressing hope that Floyd would be on the field when for the Bears' regular-season opener against the rival Packers.
Nagy described the fracture as on Floyd's index and middle finger. It occurred on a cut block late in the first quarter of the Bears' preseason game against the Broncos; Floyd hit the ground and injured his hand as he braced himself.
