Love told the media Thursday the surgery took place in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and it was done to repair his ulnar collateral ligament.<\/p>\n<p>Love dealt with multiple injuries last season that required him to miss time. He wanted to go into the 2025 season \u201c100% healthy,\u201d so he opted to get the surgery now to be ready for Week 1 against the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think with the time frame that we have right now, finishing up training camp and preseason and heading into the season with the choice to be going into the season 100% healthy was definitely the call I wanted to make,\u201d Love said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN. \u201cDealing with injuries last year, I wanted to go into this thing feeling good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Love, 26, missed Week 2 and Week 3 last season after he sprained his MCL in the regular season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil. Later in the season, he suffered a groin injury. Even after he hurt his thumb on Saturday, he participated in Monday\u2019s practice with his thumb taped. Had the thumb injury occurred during the season, Love said he probably wouldn\u2019t have undergone surgery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this was in the middle of the season, probably would\u2019ve been something we didn\u2019t get the surgery on,\u201d Love said. \u201cBut with it still being early and I\u2019m having time to recover and be fully ready for Week 1, the recommendation was to get the surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-jordan-love-will-sit-out-packers-2nd-preseason-contest\">Jordan Love will sit out Packers\u2019 2nd preseason contest<\/h2>\n<p>Love has not thrown since the procedure. Head coach <strong>Matt LaFleur<\/strong> expects him to participate fully next week. <strong>Malik Willis<\/strong> will start under center in Saturday\u2019s preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll start integrating back in next week and kind of just playing it by ear, seeing how it feels,\u201d Love said. \u201cOnce I get throwing and moving around, things like that, just playing it by ear, but next week we should be starting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Love threw for 3,389 yards, 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions on 63.1% passing last season. Drops were an issue. Packers skill players dropped 26 of\u00a0Love\u2019s 458 passes, per\u00a0<em>Pro Football Focus<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Love\u2019s counting stats took a step back from 2023 and his turnovers were an issue to begin the season. All of Love\u2019s interceptions came between Weeks 1-11. In his last seven starts of the season, Love threw for nine touchdowns with no turnovers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":78437,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-78436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
