GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love says he expects to wear a brace on his surgically repaired left thumb at the start of the season.
Love underwent surgery on the thumb on his non-throwing hand more than two weeks ago. Love was a limited participant last week for the Packers’ final training camp workouts, but he’s been practicing more fully this week and plans to play in Green Bay’s Sept. 7 season opener against the Detroit Lions.
“It’ll be some weeks having to brace it up and just keep it protected,” Love said Thursday.
