Beyond just the nuts and bolts of the injury report, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who is coming off of UCL surgery on his left thumb, is one of the bigger storylines going into Week 1, despite being a full participant in practice. According to head coach Matt LaFleur in his post-practice press conference, Love hasn’t been handing off the ball with his left hand at all in practice this week.
When pressed about whether that will alter the team’s game plan versus the Detroit Lions, LaFleur responded, “Absolutely, it can change things.” He stated that Love has done well with what the team has “given him,” but that schematically the offense might be limited in the season opener.
