Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) appears to be ramping up his rehab, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reported last week. Lloyd has not returned to practice with the rest of the team yet, but he was seen working up a sweat on a side field last week. The Packers could really use Lloyd right now after Josh Jacobs suffered a knee injury in Sunday's win that could keep him from playing in Week 12 against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. The 24-year-old Lloyd remains on Injured Reserve, though, and has played in one game for the Packers due to injuries since he was taken in the third round of the 2024 NFL draft. Green Bay is still holding out hope that he can contribute later this year, but it remains to be seen if that will actually happen. If Jacobs misses any time, Emanuel Wilson should operate as the team's clear lead back.

The Green Bay Packers sent running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) "out west" to get his body right, according to head coach Matt LaFleur, and the results have been promising. "We'll see," LaFleur said. The Packers said at the end of October that the 24-year-old was not close to returning to practice. It remains to be seen if the second-year RB will be able to get back on the field, but so far, he has spent the entire 2025 season on Injured Reserve due to a hamstring injury. The Packers had high hopes for Lloyd when they drafted him, but he has only played in one game so far in his NFL career. Josh Jacobs is the clear bell-cow back in Green Bay's backfield, with Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks backing him up. If Lloyd does finally make his way back in the second half of the season, there's no guarantee he'll rise above the RB4 for the Packers.

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) won't be practicing anytime soon, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. Lloyd continues to be an enigma for fantasy owners, as his hype has been consistently derailed by one injury after another. Lloyd joined the Packers as a third-round pick in 2024, but has appeared in just one career regular-season game, gaining 15 yards on six carries last season. The team will continue to operate with Josh Jacobs and change-of-pace option Emanuel Wilson for the foreseeable future. Jacobs has managed 447 yards and nine touchdowns through seven games.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said last week that running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring), who has been on Injured Reserve for the first seven weeks, was getting closer to practicing. However, the team still has not designated Lloyd to return from IR, and he has not resumed practicing with the team as they prepare this week for a Sunday night battle with the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8. Perhaps Lloyd will have his 21-day practice window opened next week, but even then, he wouldn't be a lock to make his 2025 debut in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers. There have been rumors that the Packers are making calls ahead of the trade deadline on RBs, so maybe Lloyd isn't as close to a return as the Packers are leading on. The former third-rounder has been a major bust for the Packers so far due to injuries, playing in just one game since the start of last year.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is "getting closer" to returning to practice, but it won't come this week, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Lloyd has been on Injured Reserve since Week 1. The 24-year-old is eligible to be activated after already missing four games, but he's not quite ready to get back on the practice field. Once the Packers designate him to return from IR, they will have 21 days to officially bring him back to the 53-man active roster. Lloyd will not return in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals, and it's probably unlikely that he'll make his 2025 debut in Week 8 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, either. The Packers had high hopes for Lloyd when they drafted him in the third round in 2024, but injuries have been the story so far, and he managed to play in only one game last year. When he's ready to return, there's no guarantee he'll leapfrog Emanuel Wilson or Chris Brooks on the RB depth chart behind starter Josh Jacobs.

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) remains on Injured Reserve coming out of the team's Week 5 bye, as his 21-day practice window has yet to be opened. The second-year back has shown flashes of big-play ability when healthy, but durability continues to be a concern. Green Bay's ground game could certainly use his spark, as the unit ranks just 27th in the NFL with a 3.8 yards-per-carry average. Until Lloyd is activated, the Packers will continue leaning on Josh Jacobs to handle the bulk of the workload, though the offense has lacked efficiency on the ground. Fantasy managers in deeper formats can continue to stash Lloyd, but his return timeline remains unclear heading into Week 6.

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) remains on Injured Reserve but is eligible to return in Week 6 against a vulnerable Bengals defense. The Packers' backfield has leaned heavily on Josh Jacobs, who has accounted for 42 of the team's 55 rushing attempts through two games. That kind of workload will be difficult to sustain, and the lack of usage for reserves Chris Brooks and Emanuel Wilson--each with just one carry--suggests the coaching staff isn't comfortable leaning on them in meaningful situations. Lloyd's eventual return could provide Green Bay with a much-needed spark, as his speed and big-play ability were evident during the preseason. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should monitor Lloyd's progress, as he could quickly carve out a change-of-pace role and potentially spell Jacobs to keep him fresh.

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and has been designated to return, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. It means that Lloyd can return after missing the first four games of the 2025 campaign. Head coach Matt LaFleur had already said that the oft-injured second-year RB would miss time to start the year due to a hamstring injury that he suffered in the preseason finale last weekend. The 24-year-old cannot seem to shake his hamstring injuries, as he also dealt with the same issue in his rookie season, among other things, and ended up suiting up in just one game. Green Bay has a bye in Week 5, so the earliest Lloyd can return will be in Week 6 on Oct. 12 versus the Cincinnati Bengals. Fantasy managers can avoid him for now in 12-team leagues, while Emanuel Wilson becomes the primary handcuff option for those that draft Josh Jacobs.

According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Green Bay Packers are leaning toward placing running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) on the injured reserve. While the move has not been officially announced yet, this would give the second-year running back additional time to recover and put him in a position to make his season debut in Week 5. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor her status in case he faces a further setback. The former third-round pick dealt with injuries throughout his rookie season and was only able to appear in one contest. During this brief taste of NFL action, Lloyd took six carries for 15 yards. If Lloyd were to miss the opening of the season, fantasy managers should expect Emanuel Wilson to slot in as the No. 2 option on the depth chart.

After leaving Saturday's preseason game in the second quarter, Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is expected to miss some time, and his status for the regular season is now in question. Injuries have hampered Lloyd's young career. After taking only six attempts as a rookie, he had missed parts of his second training camp with a groin injury. In his preseason debut, Lloyd tweaked his hamstring and had to exit the game prematurely following a 33-yard catch. For the second year, Lloyd entered camp as the presumed backup to Josh Jacobs, but if he's unable to work his way back to health, that valuable role will go to someone else, as it did last season. For now, Lloyd should be considered week-to-week until further information emerges.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur announced that running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) "is going to miss some time" after suffering a hamstring injury. The second-year back left the Green Bay Packers' 23-19 preseason win over the Indianapolis Colts after catching a 33-yard pass. The 2024 third-round pick has been more hurt than healthy in his young career, having been limited to just one game in his rookie season due to hamstring, ankle injuries, and appendicitis. Despite coming into camp healthy, he was dealing with a groin injury in late July before this latest issue. In Sunday's game, Lloyd finished with 15 yards on six rushes and his one catch for 33 yards before exiting. He is currently battling to be the backup for Packers workhorse RB Josh Jacobs, but this latest injury will delay the opportunity for now.

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) left the team's 23-19 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday with hamstring tightness, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Lloyd suffered the injury when he was tackled after gaining 33 yards on his lone catch of the game. He also carried the ball six times for 15 yards in his preseason debut. The severity of Lloyd's hamstring issue is unknown - "We'll see," head coach Matt LaFleur said - but injuries have been an all-too-frequent occurrence during his short career. A third-round pick from USC last year, Lloyd appeared in just one game as a rookie as a result of ankle and hamstring problems, and he also dealt with appendicitis. Lloyd was healthy when he reported to training camp this summer, but he injured his groin on July 28 before returning this week. If healthy, Lloyd could be the primary backup to starter Josh Jacobs. Otherwise, Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks are also vying for the role.

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd was well-involved with the starting unit in the Packers' 23-19 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Green Bay's second preseason tune-up. Josh Jacobs' status as the Packers' top rusher is not in question at all, but behind him, there are questions with multiple backs vying for the remaining time and workload behind Jacobs. Lloyd has been out in front of players like Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks for most of training camp, and on Saturday, Lloyd saw six carries for 15 yards, plus a 33-yard reception from quarterback Malik Willis. As it stands now, Lloyd would be the player to draft as a contingency play if something were to happen to Jacobs during the regular season. He's worth drafting in the deepest leagues as a bench stash, but Lloyd is a name to keep in the back of your mind when looking for handcuffs for some of the top-end backs in fantasy.

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd is expected to make his preseason debut Sunday against the Colts. The 2024 rookie appeared in just one game before suffering an ankle injury and later required an emergency appendectomy that ended his season. Lloyd enters 2025 healthy and projects as the primary change-of-pace option behind starter Josh Jacobs. For fantasy purposes, Lloyd is an intriguing handcuff with upside, particularly in deeper formats. If Jacobs were to miss time, Lloyd's explosiveness and versatility could give him immediate flex appeal.

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (groin) is expected to make his preseason debut Sunday against the Colts.

Lloyd enters 2025 healthy and projects as the primary change-of-pace option behind starter Josh Jacobs.

Green Bay Packers running backs MarShawn Lloyd (groin) and Emanuel Wilson (knee) were both back at Monday's training camp practice, according to Packers beat writer Mike Spofford. It's good news for Green Bay's backfield heading into Week 2 of the preseason. Lloyd, who played in just one game in his rookie season in 2024 due to injuries, missed the last couple weeks at camp with a non-contact groin injury, but now he's back on the field and should play in the second preseason game this Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts as he looks to secure the RB2 role behind starter Josh Jacobs. Lloyd will be competing with both Wilson and Chris Brooks for change-of-pace work in his second NFL season, and although he's proven to be very injury-prone early in his career, he's still the most intriguing RB in Green Bay behind Jacobs with lots of big-play ability.
Aug 11, 2025 1:06 PM EST
Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (groin) was technically listed as not practicing at training camp on Thursday, but ESPN's Rob Demovsky was doing some rehab work for the first time since suffering a groin injury. Lloyd, who played in just one regular-season game in 2024 in his rookie season due to multiple injuries, suffered a non-contact groin injury in late July and hasn't practiced with the rest of the team since. The 24-year-old second-year back most likely won't play in the preseason opener this Saturday against the New York Jets, but the Packers are hopeful he'll be ready for the start of the regular season in early September. Green Bay is still waiting for Lloyd to prove he's worthy of RB2 duties behind starter Josh Jacobs, and so are fantasy managers holding him in dynasty/keeper leagues.
Aug 7, 2025 2:51 PM EST
Green Bay Packers second-year running back MarShawn Lloyd (groin) is listed as the No. 3 RB behind starter Josh Jacobs and No. 2 Emanuel Wilson on the team's first unofficial depth chart of the preseason. The expectation was that Lloyd would become Jacobs' primary backup in his second year in the NFL, but the 24-year-old former third-rounder (88th overall) continues to be plagued by injuries after he was able to play in just one game in his rookie season. Lloyd is currently dealing with a non-contact groin injury but is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season. He is going to need to stay healthy and prove to the Packers that he's deserving of backup duties over both Wilson and Chris Brooks. So far, fantasy managers rostering Lloyd in dynasty/keeper leagues have to be disappointed. He's ranked at RotoBaller as the RB65.
Aug 6, 2025 5:53 PM EST
Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (groin) is not expected to practice this week, according to Packers head coach Matt LaFleur. LaFleur also said that the team doesn't anticipate a long-term absence for Lloyd, who suffered a groin injury during practice on Monday. Drafted out of USC in the third round in 2024, injuries have plagued Lloyd for the first year-plus of his NFL career. He played in just one game as a rookie due to hip, hamstring, ankle, and appendix issues. Lloyd is competing in camp with Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks for the backup job behind Packers RB1 Josh Jacobs. After missing so much time in 2024, the last thing Lloyd needs is another injury to set him back.
Jul 31, 2025 2:18 PM EST
The Athletic's Matt Schneidman reports that Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (groin) suffered a groin injury in Monday's training camp practice and is not practicing on Tuesday, as expected. There was some worry when the Packers described Lloyd's injury as non-contact, and while he still could miss some time, at least it's not a non-contact knee injury. The 24-year-old only played in one game in 2024 in his rookie campaign, though, due to hip, hamstring, ankle and appendix issues. Another injury in training camp in his sophomore season isn't good news for the oft-injured back, but he could be ready to go for the start of the 2025 season. If Lloyd misses more time, it will give extra opportunities to both Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks behind RB1 Josh Jacobs in training camp.
