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.

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.
