Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love reportedly had his thumb wrapped and spent time talking to trainers during Monday's practice, but fans can relax.
Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reported that Love was flexing his thumb in front of trainers Bryan Engel and Nate Weir and head coach Matt LaFleur after practice. It appears he is dealing with an issue with his left thumb. However, Schneidman quickly eased any nerves.
"Love wasn't limited in practice today, for what it's worth," Schneidman writes. "He did hand off one ball that I saw with his right hand instead of his left that he'd normally hand off with his left."
It doesn't sound like Jordan Love's injury is too big of a concern for Packers
Love delivered a disappointing cameo in a frustrating preseason opener on Saturday evening, and it's unclear if he hurt his thumb during that game.
It didn't keep him out of practice, though, or even limit his participation. In fact, Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated noted that Love enjoyed "perhaps his best day of training camp."
"Love completed 17-of-24 passes (70.8 percent)," writes Huber. "This is even better: Of the seven passes that weren't caught, three were throwaways, one was dropped, one was caught by Romeo Doubs but out of bounds, one would have been caught had Tucker Kraft not slipped and fell to the turf and one was intercepted when nobody was open on a two-point play."
In other words, whatever issue Love is dealing with on his left thumb didn't prevent him from torching the Packers' defense.

It did, however, cause him to hand the ball off a little differently. Love reportedly used one hand in those situations, which is less than ideal. But the main takeaway is that Love's throwing hand is fine, and he showed that on Monday.
It's unclear what injury Love is dealing with, but it's fair to assume that if the Packers had any real concerns, he wouldn't have practiced. He didn't speak to reporters, so any updates will wait until LaFleur next addresses the media.
Injuries are always concerning, and it's something to watch, but Love eased any worries with his play at practice.
