WESTFIELD, Ind. — Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is expected to miss only a few days of practice after undergoing surgery for a torn ligament in his left thumb, an injury he sustained during Saturday's preseason game against the New York Jets.

Love was noticeably absent from Thursday's joint practice with the Colts in Westfield, Indiana, but the cast on his hand was hard to miss as he observed from the sidelines.

"With the time frame that we have right now, finishing up training camp and preseason — and heading into season with the choice to be going into the season 100% healthy — it was definitely the call I wanted to make," Love explained. "(After) dealing with injuries last year, I wanted to go into this thing feeling good."
