Matt LaFleur, the coach of the Green Bay Packers, stated that he would design practice so that Love could carry out some tasks without endangering his surgically repaired left thumb. On August 17, LaFleur described his conversation with his coaches and the medical team over Love’s potential abilities this week, saying, “We kind of just went through everything.” We’re going to make some changes so he can participate.
Even though I absolutely hate my preferred seven-on-seven, there are times when it works well. So, instead of just throwing on air, I’d rather do that. Therefore, we will drill some seven-on-seven. In the team’s opening preseason game against the New York Jets, Love tore a ligament in his left thumb, necessitating surgery on August 12. On August 14, at the team’s joint practice with the Indianapolis Colts, his hand was wrapped to immobilize it.
With just a thumb brace on his left hand, Love tossed several warm-up balls to teammates prior to the Aug. 16 game against the Colts. The offensive and defensive linemen are not included in the seven-on-seven exercises, which feature offense vs. defense. When coaches were focusing on accuracy in the pass game in the 1990s and early 2000s, West Coast offenses loved this drill. However, like many instructors, LaFleur does not employ the drill. To offer the quarterback a better idea of how a play might unfold against the entire defense, they would rather have the linemen there.
According to the Packers, Love will be prepared to play in the season opener on September 7 against the Detroit Lions. Since the damage is on his left hand and he has a short recovery period following surgery, they believe he won’t be impacted. According to LaFleur, Love will not participate in the preseason finale against the Seattle Seahawks on August 23 or in their joint practice on August 21. The Packers’ most intense preparation for the Lions will begin the week of the game, but they will train many times the week following the finale.
Returning by running End, MarShawn Lloyd Barryn Sorrell won’t be returning anytime soon.
Due to MarShawn Lloyd’s hamstring injury during the team’s 23-19 victory over the Colts, the Packers were hoping for a break. However, things didn’t work out that way. LaFleur stated, “He will be absent for a while.” “An additional hamstring.”
