After dealing with injuries for much of last season, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love did not want to go into this year with any nagging ailments. That's why he decided to undergo surgery on his left thumb (non-throwing hand) this week after he sustained a ligament injury in Saturday's preseason opener against the New York Jets.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love explained his reasoning for undergoing thumb surgery on Thursday. Head coach Matt LaFleur also provided a positive update following the procedure, noting the quarterback should return to the field soon.

Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst shared on Tuesday that quarterback Jordan Love will undergo a "little procedure" on his left thumb for a ligament issue. There's hope that Love will return to practice next week, meaning he isn't expected to be out for long.
