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.

Love, who is entering his third season as QB1 in Green Bay, is coming off a year in which he posted a 9-6 record as a starter and led the team to a third consecutive playoff appearance. In the 2025 preseason opener, Love suffered a left thumb injury that necessitated a procedure, the team announced.

Packers quarterback Jordan Love opted to have surgery on his left thumb this week because he didn't want to go into the season with any nagging injuries.
