Jordan Love Determined Not to Miss Season Opener Despite Thumb Ligament Surgery
As the Green Bay Packers ramp up preparations for the new season, they were hit with unexpected news — quarterback Jordan Love underwent surgery on a ligament in his left thumb following a collision during the preseason game against the New York Jets. But rather than taking time off or showing concern, Love immediately opted for surgery and made one thing clear:
he refuses to miss Week 1.
"I can’t miss the first game. I’ve waited all summer to step onto that field with my guys. If I have to play with a wrapped-up thumb, I will." – Jordan Love told reporters after the procedure.
Team medical staff reported the injury as a minor ligament issue, but surgery was recommended to prevent future complications. Recovery typically takes two to three weeks, but Love is doing everything possible to accelerate the process, fully intending to be under center when the regular season kicks off.
Head coach Matt LaFleur voiced full confidence in his QB:
"No one questions Jordan’s fight. If he says he’ll be ready — I believe him."
This isn't just a routine injury update — it’s a clear message about Love’s leadership, commitment to the team, and burning desire to win. With the franchise placing its hopes on his shoulders, Jordan Love is showing exactly why he’s ready to lead Green Bay — and why the Packers faithful believe in him more than ever.
