GREEN BAY, Wis. - Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is out this week with a left thumb injury, the team revealed on Tuesday, Aug. 12.
Left thumb injury
What we know:
Love was spotted with his thumb wrapped on the sideline during the Packers' 30-10 preseason loss to the New York Jets on Saturday. Love started the game and went 1 of 5 for 7 yards with neither of the two drives he led resulting in points.
The injury is to Love’s non-throwing hand and occurred, coach Matt LaFleur said, when he was sacked for a 3-yard loss by Jay Tufele on the quarterback’s final snap from scrimmage.

LaFleur said he’s been informed the recovery process is a quick one, with the expectation Love will be back at practice in some capacity next week. Green Bay travels to play Indianapolis on Aug. 16, and LaFleur has already ruled out Love from playing in the Packers' final preseason game against Seattle on Aug. 23.
The decision for Love to have the procedure came after he took part in practice Monday.
LaFleur credited the third-year starter for "powering through" the session while exclusively handing off the ball with his right hand.
