Packers' Love not OK playing with repaired thumb
""It'll be some weeks having to brace it up and just keep it protected," Love said Thursday. "It's one of those things, we'll play it by ear, as I start getting into games and seeing how it feels, as you get back to live contact. But there'll be some time having that brace still.""
""If you have no stability there, you have no strength as well," Love said. "So it was pretty much just a limp thumb. I couldn't really do much with it and it's just something that I wasn't, before the season, I'm not trying to be dealing with that throughout the course of the season. Who knows if that would have kept getting reinjured, kept getting messed up and who knows how that would have been going through a whole sea""
""no concerns""
Jordan Love is recovering from surgery on his left thumb and continues to wear a protective brace while resuming handoffs primarily with his right hand. Love reported no concerns about the Sept. 7 season opener against the Detroit Lions but expects to keep the thumb braced for several weeks as he returns to live contact. He only recently resumed full 11-on-11 periods after limited snaps and simulated snaps in practice. The team ran a simulated game, and Love emphasized that lack of stability and strength motivated the decision for surgery rather than playing through the injury.
