Packers QB Jordan Love is undergoing surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb, GM Brian Gutekunst announced. Love banged the non-throwing thumb on a helmet in Green Bay's preseason opener on Saturday. Gutekunst called it a "little procedure" and said Love "shouldn't miss any regular-season time." He added that the team is hoping to get Love back at practice next week.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini hears that Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is expected to play vs. the Lions tomorrow. That matches NFL Network's Ian Rapoport's "tracking to play" report from Friday night. We'll look for further updates on Love, but we're projecting him to play as of now. He won't be at 100% and will carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups. But there's also plenty of upside here in a potential shootout against a pass-funnel Lions defense. See where Love lands in the Week 9 QB Rankings.

Packers QB Jordan Love (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Lions. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Friday night that Love is “tracking to play” on Sunday. It’s safe to assume he won’t be at 100%, adding risk to his Week 9 fantasy profile. But having Love under center instead of QB Malik Willis would be excellent news for Green Bay’s pass catchers.

Packers QB Jordan Love (groin) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. The session took place in the rain, so there evidently wasn't much concern about Love aggravating his injury in the conditions. He seemingly has a legitimate chance to play vs. the Lions on Sunday, but we'll continue to keep a close eye on his status.

Packers QB Jordan Love (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. He said, though, that he still thinks "it's realistic" that he'll be able to play vs. the Lions this weekend. "I’ve made progress," Love said. “It’s definitely feeling better. I think every day there will be some improvements to it but definitely feels better than it did on Sunday." We'll keep you updated on Love's status over the next few days. For now, we're projecting QB Malik Willis to start vs. Detroit.

Packers QB Jordan Love's MRI revealed a strained groin, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Colleague Tom Pelissero adds that Love is considered "day to day" and "has a chance" to play vs. the Lions this weekend. Love will certainly push to play in that big game, although it's worth noting that the Packers have a Week 10 bye. We'll track his status throughout the week. If Love is unable to go, Green Bay will turn back to QB Malik Willis. He's played surprisingly well this season, helping the Packers to three wins. But Willis would be a significant downgrade for the team's pass catchers.

There’s "optimism" that Packers QB Jordan Love avoided a long-term groin injury, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Love is set for additional testing on Monday to get a better look at the damage. We should get a timeline for his return then. It's worth noting that the Packers have a Week 10 bye, although Love will surely play in next Sunday's big game against the Lions if he's able.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur admitted after Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars that there's a "high level of concern" about QB Jordan Love's groin injury. "I think everybody could see him struggling to move around," LaFleur added. "It got to a point where we didn't feel like, and he didn't feel like, he could protect himself." QB Malik Willis played well in relief of Love to get Green Bay the win today, completing 4 of 5 passes for 56 yards and a score and running 4 times for 23 yards. Willis went 2-0 as the Packers' starter earlier this season, totaling 324 yards and two TDs passing and 114 yards and a score rushing. Willis finished QB22 and QB6 in fantasy points those weeks. He'll at least be an option in 2-QB leagues vs. the Lions next week if Love misses. We should get an update on Love within the next 24 hours.

Packers QB Jordan Love left Sunday’s game against Jacksonville with a lower leg injury. Malik Willis is now in the game for Green Bay. We'll let you know if Love is able to return.

UPDATE: The Packers are saying Love suffered a groin injury. He's officially questionable to return.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. He was limited in practice all week. "Anytime he's out there, that's encouraging, but again we'll see," HC Matt LaFleur said after Friday's practice. Love is shaping up as a potential game-time decision. We'll get Green Bay's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. QB Malik Willis will get another start if Love can't go.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Titans. We’re tentatively expecting him back for next weekend’s divisional game vs. the Vikings but will continue to keep a close eye on his progress. QB Malik Willis gets another start today. The Packers threw just 14 passes vs. 53 runs with Willis at the helm last week. Expect another run-heavy attack today (although probably not that extreme).

ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hear that Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is not expected to play vs. the Titans today. Love got in three limited practices this week, and Rapoport confirms that he has a good chance to return in Week 4. We've been projecting Willis to start against Tennessee all week, so there are no changes to our Week 3 Rankings. Expect another run-heavy game plan from Green Bay.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Titans. He put in three limited practices this weekend. HC Matt LaFleur hinted Friday that Love still hasn’t been medically cleared to play. We’re still tentatively expecting QB Malik Willis to get another start on Sunday, but we’ll keep you updated on Love’s status.

Packers QB Jordan Love said Wednesday that he's "hopeful" to play vs. the Titans this weekend, according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman. Love added that he's waiting to see how his injured knee progresses throughout the week.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is officially inactive for today’s game vs. the Colts. He’s reportedly eyeing a Week 5 return. QB Malik Willis, who sports a career 52% completion rate and 5.2 yards per attempt, gets the start today. Expect a run-heavy game plan from Green Bay.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is targeting a Week 5 return, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Though there is a chance he beats that goal," Rapoport adds.

The Packers have downgraded QB Jordan Love to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Colts. That's not a surprising change. He hasn't practiced since suffering his MCL sprain in the Friday night loss to the Eagles in Week 1. Love has seemed like a stronger candidate for IR than to play in Week 2, but we'll see if he actually has a chance to return for Week 3. In the meantime, Malik Willis takes over the offense. The team also elevated QB Sean Clifford from the practice squad Saturday.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. He didn’t practice all week. The Packers really don’t want to have to start QB Malik Willis, so they’re holding out hope for Love. But he’s a long shot to play this weekend with what’s been reported as a multi-week knee injury.

The Packers are not placing QB Jordan Love (knee) on IR, HC Matt LaFleur said. That means the team believes there's a good chance that Love misses fewer than four games. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported on Saturday that Love's "initial timetable" for return was 3-6 weeks. It sounds like he's trending toward the short end of that span.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Packers QB Jordan Love's "initial timetable" for return is 3-6 weeks. "And there's some early optimism he could return sooner than later, pending a second opinion," Pelissero adds. Green Bay's bye isn't until Week 10, so that shouldn't factor into Love's return date. It sounds like we should plan on him missing at least the next three games vs. Indianapolis, at Tennessee, and vs. Minnesota. It's worth noting that the Packers medical staff has historically been cautious in bringing players back from injury.
