<p>The Green Bay Packers are dealing with an injury to their starting quarterback less than a month before the 2025 NFL season begins.</p>
<p>Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst announced Tuesday that Jordan Love is dealing with a ligament issue in his left thumb. Gutekunst said the injury occurred during the team's Saturday preseason game against the New York Jets, when Love banged his hand on a helmet.</p>
<p>The quarterback had previously been spotted with his thumb taped up at Monday's practice. He did not miss any plays during the session, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.</p>
<p>Jordan Love injury update</p>
<p>Love will have surgery to fix his injured thumb. The surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.</p>
<p>Love isn't expected to be sidelined long by the injury. Gutekunst said the team is hoping he will return to practice next week, and the team expects the 26-year-old to be ready for Week 1.</p>
<p>"[He] shouldn't miss any regular-season time," Gutekunst said.</p>
<p>Who is Jordan Love's backup?</p>
<p>As long as Love remains sidelined, Malik Willis will be the Packers' top quarterback. The 26-year-old was a third-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in the 2022 NFL Draft and was traded to the Packers before the 2024 NFL season.</p>
<p>Willis made two starts during his first season in Green Bay. The Liberty product went 2-0 while completing 74.1% of his passes for 550 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for 138 yards and a touchdown on 20 scrambles.</p>
