Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love will undergo a procedure on his left (non-throwing) thumb and is expected to return to practice next week, general manager Brian Gutekunst said on Tuesday.

Gutenkunst said Love is dealing with a “ligament thing” after hitting his hand on a helmet in the Packers’ 30-10 loss in their preseason opener against the New York Jets on Saturday.

“We’re hoping to having him back next week,” Gutenkust said. “He shouldn’t miss any regular-season time.”

Love had his thumb taped while participating in Monday’s practice.

Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters in his Tuesday media session that the injury won’t derail Love for long.

“From what I’ve been understanding, it’s relatively quick recovery,” LaFleur said.

He passed for 3,389 yards and 25 touchdowns against 11 interceptions in 15 games (all starts) last season.

Love, 26, has completed 63.5 percent of his passes for 8,154 yards with 60 touchdowns and 25 picks in 42 career games (33 starts) since being selected by the Packers with the 26th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft.

He is 18-15 as a starter in his career.

The Packers open their regular season on Sept. 7 at home against NFC North rival Detroit.
