GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love says the thumb on his non-throwing hand feels fine a week after he underwent surgery on it. Love was limited to participating in 7-on-7 drills Thursday during a joint practice with the Seattle Seahawks. Love said he’d be able to play if the Packers had a regular-season game this week. Love has been practicing all week with his left thumb heavily taped.
