Green Bay opened training camp on Monday as the team's players took in a practice in preparation for the 2024 campaign.
However, the Packers' general manager, Brian Gutekunst, told reporters that Love didn't appear at the training camp and wouldn't practice until he received a long-term contract extension.
Love is playing in the last year of his rookie deal, making $22.5 million in 2024.
Gutekunst revealed that he thinks the two sides were "close" on a deal," and that Love is still close to the team in Green Bay.

"Bro already a diva after one good year," one commented.
"Crazy how dude had one good season and he's acting like this," another added.
"Drama in Green Bay!" a third stated.
