GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love returned to practice Monday less than a week after undergoing thumb surgery on his non-throwing hand.
He had his thumb, which had ligament damage, wrapped while going through a series of passing drills.
The injury occurred, coach Matt LaFleur previously said, when he was sacked for a three-yard loss by Jay Tufele on the quarterback’s final snap from scrimmage during the Packers’ 30-10 pre-season loss to the New York Jets on Aug. 9.
LaFleur has already ruled out Love from playing in the Packers’ final pre-season game against Seattle on Saturday.
Malik Willis is the primary backup and had two starts in seven appearances last season after being acquired in a trade from Tennessee.
