The Story in Brief
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is expected to see limited action in Thursday’s NFL preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Love told reporters he and head coach Matt LaFleur have agreed on a plan for him to play some role this week. The 27-year-old suffered a thumb injury in last year’s preseason game against the New York Jets, which has made the team cautious. LaFleur emphasised the importance of mental readiness for game action, even for a few plays. Love said his focus will be on staying healthy and avoiding hits, especially during scrambles.
The Indian Opinion
An American football preseason injury update may seem trivial to Indian readers, but the overreaction to any star player’s absence is universal. In India, cricket boards often wrap key players in cotton wool before big series. The narrative that every preseason snap is a disaster waiting to happen is lazy. Love himself is being sensible: get work without risking contact. The real test will come when the regular season starts and his snap count in this game is known. One number can silence the alarmists.
