In the 2025 preseason opener, Love suffered a left thumb injury that necessitated a procedure, the team announced.<\/p>\n<p>While the injury is on Love&#8217;s non-throwing hand, a starting QB undergoing a procedure less than a month before the season begins is not a great development.

Gutekunst&#8217;s announcement came one day after Love attempted to practice with the injured thumb heavily taped.<\/p>\n<p>While Love is undergoing a procedure, the injury prognosis is optimistic. He is expected to return to practice within a week of his procedure, and the team expects him to be ready by Week 1 of the NFL season.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Packers expect Jordan Love to return for Week 1: https:\/\/t.co\/foT5h5FG8G<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 12, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Green Bay begins the 2025 season when it hosts the Lions on Sunday, Sept. 7.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>The latest recovery timeline for Shedeur Sanders&#8217; oblique strain<\/p>\n<h2>Jordan Love\u00a0injury history<\/h2>\n<p>Love&#8217;s thumb injury is not expected to keep him out of any games, but it is his second injury of significance in as many seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Late in last year&#8217;s season opener, Love suffered an MCL sprain in his left knee.
