The Green Bay Packers are crashing into uncharted territory.
With news that Jordan Love requires thumb surgery that will sideline him temporarily but won't impact his status for Week 1, Packers coach Matt LaFleur is in a challenging and unfamiliar position.
"I've never personally dealt with a situation like this, so there's going to be some learning curve along the way to how do we adapt, and how do we adjust," LaFleur said, while noting Love is expected to make a quick recovery.
