The Green Bay Packers are walking a bit of a tightrope right now when it comes to injuries to key starters.
After Jordan Love practiced with his left thumb taped on Monday, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst confirmed on Tuesday that Love was set for surgery that morning to fix a ligament issue in the thumb. Love suffered the injury on the final snap the starting offense played in Green Bay’s preseason opener versus the Jets, a play on which he was sacked.
The good news is that Gutekunst confirmed Love is only set to miss around a week of practice, and will be back in plenty of time for the start of the regular season on Sunday, Sept.
